Ogier won most stages but he trailed Neuville almost all the way, inching closer and closer and taking lead only in final day. Since he won overall, Super Sunday and Power Stage, this meant maximum score and his position in championship improved to third.

Neuville took lead from SS2, lost it momentarily for Fourmaux but regained and fought to keep Ogier at bay, ultimately unsuccessfully. Fourmaux suffered two punctures and team decided to withdraw Sordo before finish and be allowed to have more service options on the car before it's next event.

Benefiting from low road order, Armstrong was initially well positioned and held as high as 3rd overall after SS5. Then he punctured and retired later with broken turbo. McErlean (pictured) was luckier and held 4th position until he began to lose ground and finished 6th overall after small off on SS16.
