1. leg	Time	Pos.	km/h s/km	Overall	Pos. after
SS1 Entrevaux - Rouaine (21.31 km)	15:53.5	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	80.5 km/h	15:53.5	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
So much ice around. It didn't feel like we were going fast at all. Three kilometres before the end I told [my co-driver] Daniel 'That's it, I've stopped - completely stopped' That's really how it felt. And then we saw the time!
SS2 Norante - Digne les Bains (19.68 km)	14:14.7	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC	82.9 km/h 0.89 s/km	30:08.2	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
It was okay but a lot of gravel everywhere in every corner. I had a good tyre choice for the first stage but it wasn't the best for the second. I passed two cars in there - I'm not sure who they were.
2. leg
SS3 La Salle en Beaumont - Corps 1 (15.84 km)	10:23.9	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	91.4 km/h	40:32.1	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
A lot of fog, so you have to trust your notes 100 per cent - and on a new stage that's tricky.
SS4 Aspres lès Corps - Chauffayer 1 (25.81 km)	15:34.0	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC	99.5 km/h 0.27 s/km	56:06.1	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"I started to push hard again. I did a little mistake."
SS5 Les Costes - Saint Julien en Champsaur 1 (25.40 km)	15:35.3	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC	97.8 km/h 0.87 s/km	1:11:41.4	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"Sometime you have to fight. Very, very muddy and I have to take big, big risks to drive like this."
SS6 La Salle en Beaumont - Corps 2 (15.84 km)	10:26.1	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	91.1 km/h	1:22:07.5	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"I told him [Ogier] before the stage that I thought it was better to take the studded tyres here. That I had the wrong ones. I was a little surprised by the amount of snow and ice in there. But in the end it was okay for us. A decent time."
SS7 Aspres lès Corps - Chauffayer 2 (25.81 km)	14:52.0	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC	104.2 km/h 0.62 s/km	1:36:59.5	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"I thought I had a good stage but I lost about 5sec in a hairpin. It was slippery I pushed really hard. My tyre choice was not bad."
SS8 Les Costes - Saint Julien en Champsaur 2 (25.40 km)	25:15.9 [N]	85. 16. class RC1 85. WRC	60.3 km/h 23.62 s/km	2:02:15.4 [SR]	15. 12. class RC1 15. WRC
It happened when I hit a little bit a wall in an icy place. Not too hard, but something - I don't know exactly what - is wrong. It can happen, but in this road position, I had to tried something different with my tyres. I tried really hard and did a mistake. Now I will try to get back to service.
3. leg
SS9 Prunières - Embrun 1 (19.93 km)	cancelled
SS10 Lardier et Valença - Faye (51.70 km)	31:23.1	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC	98.8 km/h 0.80 s/km	2:33:38.5 [SR]	12. 10. class RC1 12. WRC
SS11 Prunières - Embrun 2 (19.93 km)	10:42.4	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	111.7 km/h	2:44:20.9 [SR]	9. 9. class RC1 9. WRC
"Nothing special in this stage."
SS12 Sisteron - Thoard (36.85 km)	25:21.2	9. 9. class RC1 9. WRC	87.2 km/h 1.31 s/km	3:09:42.1 [SR]	9. 9. class RC1 9. WRC
"We tried to use the slicks to see how it was. I had to be very careful in the middle bit. Not my best stage."
4. leg

There's a lot of corner cutting and that has dragged lots of snow in the road that we did not expect.
SS14 La Bollène Vésubie - Sospel (31.66 km)	22:27.3	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	84.6 km/h	3:38:44.2 [SR]	8. 8. class RC1 8. WRC

"It was great. Okay, disappointed because of the mistake, but I had some pleasure. I enjoyed the rally, a great atmosphere and great to be here."
