"Monte is not really about the pace, it is about consistency. It has not really been our day today, but we still do everything we can."
3. leg
SS9 Agnières-en-Dévoluy - Corps 1 (29.82 km)	20:54.0	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	85.6 km/h	2:00:46.2	6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC
"It's quite consistent, but still is changing a lot in places so it is quite hard to push. The target is just to do the best, there is a big gap in front."
SS10 St-Léger-les-Mélèzes - La Bâtie-Neuve 1 (16.87 km)	10:12.1	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	99.2 km/h	2:10:58.3	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC
"For sure, we keep doing our best. The stage was generally okay but I had a fancy moment at the beginning where I hit the black ice, there is so much ice and it is quite slippery."
SS11 Agnières-en-Dévoluy - Corps 2 (29.82 km)	19:54.5	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	89.9 km/h	2:30:52.8	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC
"Some icy places, the tyre was okay but obviously they are very similar to the winter tyre - just without the studs."
SS12 St-Léger-les-Mélèzes - La Bâtie-Neuve 2 (16.87 km)	9:53.2	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	102.4 km/h	2:40:46.0	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC
"There is no difference, none of the tyres have studs any more! It is not a big risk, but if there had been snow or ice we could have lost 10 or 15 seconds, but there is no one behind us."
4. leg
SS13 La Bollène-Vésubie - Peïra-Cava 1 (18.41 km)	11:40.3	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	94.6 km/h	2:52:26.3	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC
"It has been a long time driving on asphalt and it was quite slippery with the salt in places. I had a clean run, nothing special, but a clean run. I am doing my best to get third, but I am not going crazy."
SS14 La Cabanette - Col de Braus 1 (13.58 km)	9:52.4	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	82.5 km/h	3:02:18.7	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC
"We try to improve the car a bit from the previous stage, but at the beginning it was a bit worse. Now we have some time to discuss it."

"I don't know really how it went this one, but I must say the car balance was better and I had a good clean run. Maybe not pushing so hard, but I had a good rhythm."
SS16 La Cabanette - Col de Braus 2[Power Stage] (13.58 km)	9:43.1	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC	83.8 km/h 0.43 s/km	3:23:31.1	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC
