"I'm happy to be here, we all knew it was going to be a tricky start. Maybe we were a little bit too safe on the icy places in SS1 but we managed to do a good time on the dry with crossed tyres, and overall it's not a bad start for us"
2. leg
SS3 Valdrôme - Sigottier 1 (20.04 km)	cancelled
SS4 Roussieux - Laborel 1 (24.05 km)	14:53.2	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC	96.9 km/h 0.46 s/km	41:35.3	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC

"Everything was okay. I don't know which tyre everyone was on, there was a lot of ice where I was too careful for sure but it is a tricky stage for sure."
SS6 Valdrôme - Sigottier 2 (20.04 km)	13:39.5	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC	88.0 km/h	1:09:03.9	2. 2. class RC1 2. WRC

"It was the plan. We had a different tyre choice than Thierry and we had an extra slick. There are a lot of deep cuts, so I didn't go in many of them to avoid any wheel damage."
SS8 Curbans - Piégut 2 (18.47 km)	13:37.5	5. 5. class RC1 5. WRC	81.3 km/h 0.65 s/km	1:37:17.3	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
Thierry was pushing, I was careful on the icy section. I had no studs left anymore and it was very slippery."
3. leg

"I think it is a good gap, it has been a tricky morning - especially the first stage. Still happy with a cautious approach. It is still a tough battle with Thierry but so far, so good."
SS11 Agnières-en-Dévoluy - Corps 2 (29.82 km)	20:02.6	4. 4. class RC1 4. WRC	89.3 km/h 0.27 s/km	2:28:35.7	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"It is very close, but I am happy it stays close on these types of stages because it is not easy to find a rhythm. If Thierry can hold a bit more, I'm happy with that!"
SS12 St-Léger-les-Mélèzes - La Bâtie-Neuve 2 (16.87 km)	9:54.3	3. 3. class RC1 3. WRC	102.2 km/h 0.07 s/km	2:38:30.0	1. 1. class RC1 1. WRC
"The Toyota was even faster, I was pushing vey hard! It is dry now, so I can take a bit more risk. It is intense for sure, I think on the stages tomorrow the C3 will work well."
