SS1 Gerosa 1 (10.96 km)	6:46.4	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	97.1 km/h 0.33 s/km	6:46.4	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"Quite okay. I didn't think it was too bad to be honest, but I'm surprised to lose so much."
SS2 Costa Valle Imagna 1 (22.11 km)	12:59.0	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	102.2 km/h	19:45.4	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"It felt quite okay at the end. There was a bit of fog going up the hill so it was quite tricky, but it's all okay."
SS3 Gerosa 2 (10.96 km)	6:37.4	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	99.3 km/h 0.19 s/km	26:22.8	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"It felt quite okay, but obviously Seb was very quick in there this morning also. He's obviously got something in there, but it didn't feel so bad."
SS4 Costa Valle Imagna 2 (22.11 km)	12:48.9	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	103.5 km/h 0.04 s/km	39:11.7	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"Mostly okay. Difficult at the start with cold tyres, but that will be the same for everyone. It's not bad, but it's obviously not quite where we wanted to be."
SS5 Cinturato 1 (14.49 km)	9:51.0	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	88.3 km/h	49:02.7	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"It's very difficult to know how to apply yourself. Do you brake late or early? It's such a lottery in a way. The conditions seem to be okay but it's very difficult to know."
SS6 Cinturato 2 (14.49 km)	9:40.2	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	89.9 km/h 0.03 s/km	58:42.9	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It felt quite okay. It's always difficult to know if you're pushing too much or not enough. It felt fine, but it's so difficult to know."
SS7 Grand Prix 1 (10.29 km)	5:22.3	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC	114.9 km/h 0.35 s/km	1:04:05.2	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"This stage is not easy. Especially coming straight into these chicanes with quite cold tyres, it's not really nice in the dark. It's been a good day around the track, but of course we have some work to do for the mountain stages tomorrow."
2. leg
SS8 San Fermo 1 (14.80 km)	9:20.0	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC	95.1 km/h 0.31 s/km	1:13:25.2	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"It wasn't the best stage. I struggled for grip and seemed to be sliding a lot more than expected. We can chat about it now, but maybe I just need to be a bit more patient."
SS9 Selvino 1 (24.93 km)	16:12.3	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	92.3 km/h	1:29:37.5	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"All good. Like I say, I am happy with focussing on myself and let's see how the gap is evolving."
SS10 San Fermo 2 (14.80 km)	9:14.5	6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC	96.1 km/h 0.23 s/km	1:38:52.0	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"I think, to be honest, it felt like a good run. We were smooth, but obviously not quite fast enough."
SS11 Selvino 2 (24.93 km)	16:11.7	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	92.4 km/h 0.16 s/km	1:55:03.7	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"That's a great time from Seb. It felt quite good for me but I was struggling a bit towards the end. The car was moving around quite a bit and it was all getting quite hot."
SS12 Sottozero 1 (14.39 km)	9:10.9	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	94.0 km/h	2:04:14.6	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It was a pretty okay run. Not perfect everywhere and I touched a barrier ever so slightly in one place. I had a bit of a funny feeling after that, but generally it was okay."
SS13 Sottozero 2 (14.39 km)	9:13.1	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC	93.7 km/h 0.17 s/km	2:13:27.7	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"It was okay to be honest, but the vision is very difficult. In a few places I braked way too early because you just can't see where you're going."
3. leg
SS14 Grand Prix 2 (10.29 km)	5:13.3	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	118.2 km/h 0.10 s/km	2:18:41.0	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"Trying to do what we can. It's difficult - first time on the crossed [tyres] for me and it was a bit strange in some places, but I think it was the right choice."
SS15 Serraglio 1 (14.62 km)	10:26.9	7. 7. class RC1 7. WRC	84.0 km/h 1.15 s/km	2:29:07.9	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
2x stalled
"I locked up the brakes and couldn't get the car turned and went into the bales and stalled. We had another stall later on too. Not a great stage."
SS16 Serraglio 2[Power Stage] (14.62 km)	10:08.0	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC	86.6 km/h 0.25 s/km	2:39:15.9	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"It's been a pretty okay year, I can't help but feel a bit disappointed right now. You always look to the places you could have done better, but I have to say a really special thank you to this team. A special mention also to Kalle. He sacrificed his weekend so that me and Seb could go at it this weekend."
