SS1 La Bollène-Vésubie / Col de Turini 1 (15.12 km)	10:46.9	10. 1. class RC2 10. WRC 1. WRC2 1. WRC2 Challenger	84.1 km/h 1.59 s/km	10:46.9	10. 1. class RC2 10. WRC 1. WRC2 1. WRC2 Challenger
"It's good. The pace notes feel quite good but I made a lot of mistakes because the front tyres immediately overheated. I am quite surprised at the time because I was understeering so much."
SS2 La Cabanette / Col de Castillon (24.90 km)	16:53.4	9. 1. class RC2 9. WRC 1. WRC2 1. WRC2 Challenger	88.5 km/h 1.71 s/km	27:40.3	10. 1. class RC2 10. WRC 1. WRC2 1. WRC2 Challenger
2. leg
SS3 Roure / Roubion / Beuil 1 (18.33 km)	10:31.1	12. 3. class RC2 12. WRC 2. WRC2 1. WRC2 Challenger	104.6 km/h 1.99 s/km	38:11.4	10. 1. class RC2 10. WRC 1. WRC2 1. WRC2 Challenger
"I am not sure if the tyre choice was good for this stage. We went with the soft tyres and they overheated. Okay, we need to thing about the rally and not about each stage."
SS4 Puget-Théniers / Saint-Antonin 1 (19.79 km)	12:20.6	11. 2. class RC2 11. WRC 1. WRC2 1. WRC2 Challenger	96.2 km/h 1.81 s/km	50:32.0	10. 1. class RC2 10. WRC 1. WRC2 1. WRC2 Challenger
"Better, but the tyre is still too soft for this kind of stage. It's cold outside but when you have twisty roads like this they start to overheat. Okay, it's adaptation."

"It's a little bit risky, but not really a lot. In some places where you can go off there is a little bit of cautious, but the rhythm is good."
SS7 Puget-Théniers / Saint-Antonin 2 (19.79 km)	12:15.4	10. 2. class RC2 10. WRC 1. WRC2 1. WRC2 Challenger	96.9 km/h 1.85 s/km	1:21:59.5	9. 1. class RC2 9. WRC 1. WRC2 1. WRC2 Challenger

"I think the car, the set-up and the pace notes are now working good. It seems that finally everything is coming together in one piece."
3. leg
SS9 Le Fugeret / Thorame-Haute 1 (16.80 km)	9:30.4	10. 1. class RC2 10. WRC 1. WRC2 1. WRC2 Challenger	106.0 km/h 1.48 s/km	1:40:22.6	9. 1. class RC2 9. WRC 1. WRC2 1. WRC2 Challenger
"It's good. I like the car today, it feels different and much easier to drive. I don't know if the tyres overheated in the last part because there's less grip. There's still a long way to go but we are trying to enjoy and do our job."
SS10 Malijai / Puimichel 1 (17.31 km)	10:04.4	13. 5. class RC2 13. WRC 4. WRC2 3. WRC2 Challenger	103.1 km/h 2.15 s/km	1:50:27.0	9. 1. class RC2 9. WRC 1. WRC2 1. WRC2 Challenger

Puncture
"I had a front puncture... I think we had it for seven or eight kms in the end. I was trying to avoid all the cuts and we still got it. Unbelievable."
4. leg
SS15 Lucéram / Lantosque 1 (18.82 km)	12:55.7	10. 2. class RC2 10. WRC 2. WRC2 1. WRC2 Challenger	87.3 km/h 2.01 s/km	2:48:18.3 0:05	9. 1. class RC2 9. WRC 1. WRC2 1. WRC2 Challenger

"For sure there is some pressure but we are just managing it. It's difficult, I think the French guys know the roads better but I am trying to drive to the pace notes. Of course, yesterday's puncture is not helping me."
SS17 Lucéram / Lantosque 2 (18.82 km)	12:43.5	9. 2. class RC2 9. WRC 1. WRC2 1. WRC2 Challenger	88.7 km/h 1.41 s/km	3:11:36.3 0:05	9. 1. class RC2 9. WRC 1. WRC2 1. WRC2 Challenger

"The last stage was so difficult. The front tyres were completely dead and I understeered a lot, but I just tried to keep it on the line."
