Ogier was generally fastest driver despite temporarily losing lead on SS2 when he lost time on a hairpin. That was his only major mistake and he returned to winning ways after string of gravel rallies.

Hyundai had an excellent rally, having three cars in top 5. While Paddon wasn't up to speed, Sordo (pictured) and Neuville were locked in tight battle throughout the rally, ending within 0,1 sec of each other.throughout

Again Ostberg was best Ford at the finish but again it was Tanak who was by far faster until he retired with alternator problem on Day 2.
