Spin
"It's quite tricky in the beginning, and we had a small spin at the start of the stage so we lost a bit of time. Anyway, losing a lot of time there. In the damp I was maybe a bit too careful in the conditions."
SS2 La Bollène-Vésubie / Moulinet (23.25 km)	15:57.2	13. 11. class RC1 13. WRC	87.4 km/h 1.84 s/km	26:57.2	12. 11. class RC1 12. WRC
"I think the balance of the car is really tricky for me to drive. I tried to do my best to adapt for it, but if the balance is a bit more to the understeering in side then it's quite difficult for me."
2. leg
SS3 Roure / Beuil 1 (18.33 km)	10:23.2	8. 8. class RC1 8. WRC	105.9 km/h 0.78 s/km	37:20.4	10. 10. class RC1 10. WRC
"Yesterday was really hard for us, so we're just trying to improve for that."
SS4 Guillaumes / Péone / Valberg 1 (13.49 km)	7:47.1	9. 9. class RC1 9. WRC	104.0 km/h 0.52 s/km	45:07.5	10. 10. class RC1 10. WRC
"We are learning all the time how to drive it. After yesterday we did some set-up changes and it's better for me, so let's see what we can do."
SS5 Val-de-Chalvagne / Entrevaux 1 (17.11 km)	11:32.2	11. 9. class RC1 11. WRC	89.0 km/h 2.07 s/km	56:39.7	9. 9. class RC1 9. WRC
"The conditions were quite tricky. We had proper ice and frost on the stage and with the slicks it's quite difficult. I was quite careful, so we have some work to do on the pace notes with how we mark the ice and stuff."
SS6 Roure / Beuil 2 (18.33 km)	10:07.2	8. 8. class RC1 8. WRC	108.7 km/h 0.55 s/km	1:06:46.9	9. 9. class RC1 9. WRC
"We did a small change in the regroup, but of course it's easier on the second pass when you know the roads a bit better. There's still a long way to go and I can't do much more than that at this point."
SS7 Guillaumes / Péone / Valberg 2 (13.49 km)	7:36.3	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC	106.4 km/h 0.33 s/km	1:14:23.2	9. 9. class RC1 9. WRC
"The set-up changes that we did before are helping quite a lot for me. Now we will just try to continue the same way."
SS8 Val-de-Chalvagne / Entrevaux 2 (17.11 km)	10:38.6	6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC	96.5 km/h 0.41 s/km	1:25:01.8	9. 9. class RC1 9. WRC
"It has not been a good day. In the afternoon we were improving the car all the time and I could start to trust the car a bit and drive better. Let's see what we can do tomorrow - I will try to improve my driving also."
3. leg
SS9 Le Fugeret / Thorame-Haute (16.80 km)	9:13.5	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	109.3 km/h 0.04 s/km	1:34:15.3	8. 8. class RC1 8. WRC
"I think it was a bit better again with the changes we have done, but it was not a good stage for me. I still struggle with the first loop and driving to the pace notes - it's a bit tricky driving a stage for the first time."
SS10 Saint-Jeannet / Malijai 1 (17.04 km)	9:31.6	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC	107.3 km/h 0.31 s/km	1:43:46.9	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC
"Really nice stage - hopefully the time is good. I felt I was quite a lot better than yesterday, so hopefully the time is good."
SS11 Saint-Geniez / Thoard 1 (20.79 km)	14:21.6	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	86.9 km/h 0.22 s/km	1:58:08.5	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC
SS12 Saint-Jeannet / Malijai 2 (17.04 km)	9:23.8	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	108.8 km/h	2:07:32.3	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC
"Of course, when I am feeling a bit more comfortable in the car I can drive faster. This one is a really nice stage - it's the best stage of the rally for me, it's so nice."
SS13 Saint-Geniez / Thoard 2 (20.79 km)	14:14.6	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	87.6 km/h	2:21:46.9	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC
"It has been quite a big change from two days ago. Now it's starting to be a bit enjoyable in the car and it's getting better all the time, so I can be happier. In this one we should have taken studded tyres."
4. leg
SS14 La Penne / Collongues 1 (19.37 km)	11:31.3	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC	100.9 km/h 0.18 s/km	2:33:18.2	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC
"I think by driving it's not possible [to catch Breen]. We have to keep some pressure on the others. This stage was tricky - my [tyre] pressures were way too high at the end and we were losing a lot of grip."
SS15 Briançonnet / Entrevaux 1 (14.26 km)	9:20.8	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC	91.5 km/h 2.13 s/km	2:42:39.0	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC
"I was just saving the tyres for this afternoon. It's quite a tricky power stage, so let's see if we can try something there or not."
SS16 La Penne / Collongues 2 (19.37 km)	11:34.2	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC	100.4 km/h 0.68 s/km	2:54:13.2	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC
SS17 Briançonnet / Entrevaux 2[Power Stage] (14.26 km)	8:35.8	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	99.5 km/h	3:02:49.0	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC
"I think it was not so hard to improve on! I am really happy with what we can do. It looked so bad in the beginning, but it was nice to be back on the pace. We lost the podium in the beginning of the rally, but the car is working so well."
