1. leg	Time	Pos.	km/h	s/km	Overall	Pos. after
SS1 Saint-Disdier - Corps (20.58 km)	12:09.2	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC	101.6	0.17	12:09.2	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC
"Very tricky. In some places thre grip was quite okay and in others there was very little."
SS2 Saint-Maurice - Saint-Bonnet (20.78 km)	12:16.8	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC	101.5	0.24	24:26.0	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC
"It was very difficult at the start with a lot of icy sections. We were stopped before the stage for so long that we started with zero grip and it took quite a long time for us to get some heat in during the stage to get any feeling."
2. leg
SS3 Aspremont - La Bâtie-des-Fonts 1 (19.61 km)	14:03.6	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	83.7	0.14	38:29.6	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"It's very changeable. The gravel crew did a pretty good job - I felt I was going too slowly in some places but then too quick in others . A difficult one."
SS4 Chalancon - Gumiane 1 (21.62 km)	13:45.8	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC	94.3	0.42	52:15.4	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"Nothing really wrong - it didn't feel like such a bad run. It was very slippery in the middle so maybe I was too careful."
SS5 Montauban-sur-l'Ouvèze - Villebois-les-Pins 1 (22.24 km)	13:43.8	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	97.2	0.36	1:05:59.2	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"I think it's a probably a stage that Seb knows well in this direction. We were basically a bit too careful on the shiny tar, so not great."
SS6 Aspremont - La Bâtie-des-Fonts 2 (19.61 km)	13:32.5	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	86.9		1:19:31.7	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It was alright. The grip is changing much more extremely - one minute there's good grip and the next there's nothing at all."
SS7 Chalancon - Gumiane 2 (21.62 km)	14:25.8	6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC	89.9	0.74	1:33:57.5	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It's very tricky. I was too careful in some places, but the car has a mind of its own sometimes. Not specifically the car, but the conditions are just so tricky."
3. leg
SS9 La Bréole - Selonnet 1 (18.31 km)	13:34.0	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	81.0	0.97	1:47:31.5	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"I didn\'t think it went too great - I was too careful."
SS10 Saint-Clément - Freissinières (20.48 km)	17:14.4	8. 8. class RC1 8. WRC	71.3	2.25	2:04:45.9	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"We had a stall, but other than that it was just very difficult in there. Maybe we were too careful down the hill into the village - I don't know."
SS11 La Bréole - Selonnet 2 (18.31 km)	11:59.0	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	91.7		2:16:44.9	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"I needed that really! It's been a frustrating day, just not really being on the money. I tried to stay in the ruts and out of trouble. We'll try and keep the pressure on [Seb]."
4. leg
SS12 Puget-Théniers - La Penne 1 (12.93 km)	8:55.6	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC	86.9	0.62	2:25:40.5	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"It was very slippery. Just impossible to judge the grip really."
SS13 Briançonnet - Entrevaux 1 (14.31 km)	11:34.1	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	74.2	0.31	2:37:14.6	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"I was careful - but what do you do in these conditions? We're trying to strike the balance between being tidy and not too slow, it's difficult."
SS14 Puget-Théniers - La Penne 2 (12.93 km)	8:51.0	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC	87.7	0.65	2:46:05.6	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"Still quite tricky and still frozen in places. It was a steady enough run through with no problems."
SS15 Briançonnet - Entrevaux 2 [Power Stage] (14.31 km)	11:00.7	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC	78.0	0.31	2:57:06.3	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"It's been good, but I felt never 100% as it should have been. There were some good stages, but never consistently where I'd really like to be. Perhaps we were just a little below the point you could call the level of risk."
