SS1 La Bollène-Vésubie / Col de Turini 1 (15.12 km)	10:22.9	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	87.4 km/h	10:22.9	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It was okay. Very dry conditions but very slippery at the end with the salt. A clean start for us. Anybody who says the nerves are not there either has a problem or is lying!"
SS2 La Cabanette / Col de Castillon (24.90 km)	16:10.8	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	92.3 km/h	26:33.7	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It's a good start. Not easy - there was almost nothing apart one corner with some black ice. At least for once we are not first on the road and we can use it to our advantage."
2. leg
SS3 Roure / Roubion / Beuil 1 (18.33 km)	9:54.7	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	111.0 km/h	36:28.4	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"The truth is we don't have so many soft tyres for the rally, so you can not take too many. At the end we do not need to carry one more."
SS4 Puget-Théniers / Saint-Antonin 1 (19.79 km)	11:44.7	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	101.1 km/h	48:13.1	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"Not so good. We have an issue and we are driving flat-out to try and compensate for it. No hybrid."
SS5 Briançonnet / Entrevaux 1 (14.55 km)	8:30.7	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	102.6 km/h	56:43.8	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"Of course I am pushing flat-out to be honest but the feeling is good. Apart from that the car is working well."
SS6 Roure / Roubion / Beuil 2 (18.33 km)	9:49.8	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	111.9 km/h 0.03 s/km	1:06:33.6	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"So far the hybrid is working - the guys managed to fix it with the laptop at midday. We have a 30sec lead so we can manage not to take full risks."
SS7 Puget-Théniers / Saint-Antonin 2 (19.79 km)	11:38.7	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	102.0 km/h	1:18:12.3	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It's better with the hybrid for sure. I can focus on driving a bit more cleanly without taking any crazy risks. It was a good stage."
SS8 Briançonnet / Entrevaux 2 (14.55 km)	8:27.1	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC	103.3 km/h 0.21 s/km	1:26:39.4	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"I am very satisfied. Obviously, the risk of punctures was higher in this one so I took it a bit easy. I'm just happy to bring the car home tonight."
3. leg
SS9 Le Fugeret / Thorame-Haute 1 (16.80 km)	9:08.0	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC	110.4 km/h 0.15 s/km	1:35:47.4	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC

SS10 Malijai / Puimichel 1 (17.31 km)	9:27.1	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	109.9 km/h	1:45:14.5	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It's a beautiful stage - for me one of the most beuatiful of the rally. We had fun and there was a good rhythm. I took it a bit less in places where I thought there was a risk of punctures, but all good."
SS11 Ubraye / Entrevaux 1 (21.78 km)	11:40.3	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	112.0 km/h 0.21 s/km	1:56:54.8	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"Since this morning, the target is to try to stay safe. There is a lot of cuts with a high risk of punctures so I took it easy."
SS12 Le Fugeret / Thorame-Haute 2 (16.80 km)	9:05.2	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC	110.9 km/h 0.20 s/km	2:06:00.0	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"The strategy doesn't change for me at the moment. I try to be as clean as I can."

"I think it should be enough. It was the most dangerous stage for punctures, so I took it easy and I am happy this stage is over now."
4. leg
SS15 Lucéram / Lantosque 1 (18.82 km)	12:17.9	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	91.8 km/h	2:39:29.4	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"Yesterday night it looked like people were in doubt, but so far I am controlling my risks. It's very precise driving required between the monutains and stones, but at least no cuts where there is a risk of punctures."
SS16 La Bollène-Vésubie / Col de Turini 2 (15.12 km)	10:10.4	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	89.2 km/h 0.10 s/km	2:49:39.8	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC

SS17 Lucéram / Lantosque 2 (18.82 km)	12:17.0	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	91.9 km/h	3:01:56.8	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"Of course, for me, only the win matters. The Power Stage is not important but I will still try to catch some points for the team because every point is counting at the end of the year."
SS18 La Bollène-Vésubie / Col de Turini 3[Power Stage] (15.12 km)	10:05.2	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC	89.9 km/h 0.31 s/km	3:12:02.0	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It's huge. I love this rally, it's the one which gave me the dream right at the beginning and I am so happy for Vincent: for me it's nice, but for him it's a dream to take his first win. We still need to enjoy these moments and that's why we are still here [in the WRC], to catch some victories like this. To win a famous one like Monte has no price."
