1. leg	Time	Pos.	km/h s/km	Overall	Pos. after
SS1 Entrevaux - Val-de-Chalvagne - Ubraye (21.25 km)	cancelled
"It's always difficult to find the limit in those conditions. I was a bit safe on tyre choice & driving, I hope the time won't be too bad"
SS2 Bayons - Bréziers 1 (25.49 km)	15:08.9	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	101.0 km/h 0.31 s/km	15:08.9	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"Happy to be safely through. Starting Monte-Carlo by night is always tricky. A bit of gravel on surface, but not a bad stage. No problem"
2. leg
SS3 Agnières-en-Dévoluy - Le Motty 1 (24.63 km)	20:01.0	9. 9. class RC1 9. WRC	73.8 km/h 1.75 s/km	35:09.9	8. 8. class RC1 8. WRC
WRC TV crew report his car in a ditch after 2.5km. He's out of the ditch and underway again.
"It happened in a junction. Very, very icy. I pulled the handbrake but the car never turned. It was very slow - 10kph. Super tricky. First on the road is a disaster. I think it will get quicker. Not the start we wanted today."
SS4 Aspres-lès-Corps - Chaillol 1 (38.94 km)	25:46.8	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	90.6 km/h 0.13 s/km	1:00:56.7	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC
"Pretty slippy once again, but at least no mistakes from me in this one. The road is a mix of everything. The problem is when there is snow - the thin layer is very, very slippy. I'm not happy with everything on the car at the moment."
SS5 St-Léger-les-Mélèzes - La Bâtie-Neuve 1 (16.83 km)	11:27.0	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	88.2 km/h 0.29 s/km	1:12:23.7	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC
"More or less the same conditions. Okay, it's been a difficult morning but we are here - and that's not the case for everybody. It's not the best, but we keep going."
SS6 Agnières-en-Dévoluy - Le Motty 2 (24.63 km)	18:22.8	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC	80.4 km/h 0.54 s/km	1:30:46.5	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC
"A little better than this morning but there is some slush around which is hard to handle. I think it will clear, so being first car is no so easy. A better feeling for me this time."
SS7 Aspres-lès-Corps - Chaillol 2 (38.94 km)	24:17.8	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	96.2 km/h	1:55:04.3	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC
"It's definitely a hard job to drive with the slush now. I do what I can, but in very wet snow it is incredibly slippery and I was aquaplaning. We did what we could. We made some small adjustments in service - the car feels better."
SS8 St-Léger-les-Mélèzes - La Bâtie-Neuve 2 (16.83 km)	11:05.4	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	91.1 km/h	2:06:09.7	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"It's been a tough day for sure. Tough conditions and the afternoon was not any easier. We had a better feeling with the car in the afternoon. Some improvement. Step-by-step."
3. leg
SS9 Lardier-et-Valença - Oze 1 (31.17 km)	24:05.5	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	77.6 km/h 0.08 s/km	2:30:15.2	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"I tried to save the tyres at the beginning. Its tricky on the ice. I'm happy to be here again. No easier than yesterday."
SS10 La Bâtie-Montsaléon - Faye 1 (16.78 km)	9:29.2	6. 6. class RC1 6. WRC	106.1 km/h 0.83 s/km	2:39:44.4	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"It was okay but I was quite cautious in the icy sections. Its okay, not so bad."
SS11 Lardier-et-Valença - Oze 2 (31.17 km)	22:53.0	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	81.7 km/h	3:02:37.4	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"I think it was a good stage. I was happy with the rhythm, okay I needed some time to find that. This one was a good stage I think. My car is working fine."
SS12 La Bâtie-Montsaléon - Faye 2 (16.78 km)	9:04.1	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	111.0 km/h 0.44 s/km	3:11:41.5	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC
"We knew it was an open area but I wasn't expecting so much dirt on the road. On the winter tyre we understeered. Okay, I could take a risk there because I knew it was only a field on the outside. I had to try and do a bit more here."
SS13 Bayons - Bréziers 2 (25.49 km)	14:29.2	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC	105.6 km/h 0.07 s/km	3:26:10.7	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"Let's see but I'm sorry for Thierry - he was doing such a good job, with fabulous speed so far. We got some luck this weekend, some small mistake in here too, I touched a bank again, but nothing special."
4. leg
SS14 Lucéram - Col St-Roch 1 (5.50 km)	3:37.1	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC	91.2 km/h 0.25 s/km	3:29:47.8	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"Okay for us, obviously now just try and cruise to the finish."
SS15 La Bollène-Vésubie - Peïra-Cava 1 (21.36 km)	14:05.2	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC	91.0 km/h 0.66 s/km	3:43:53.0	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"No risk on the driving now, but for the mechanical side there's nothing I can do. It's a shame for Ott. I hope he can finish at least on the podium - that would be more than deserved. I really enjoy this car on the smooth roads."
SS16 Lucéram - Col St-Roch 2 (5.50 km)	cancelled
SS17 La Bollène-Vésubie - Peïra-Cava 2[Power Stage] (21.36 km)	16:10.6	11. 9. class RC1 11. WRC	79.2 km/h 5.44 s/km	4:00:03.6	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
