Ogier (pictured) started first on the road and expected to lose a lot of time due to that. His speed was incredibly good and he finished first day on third place. Second day saw disaster striking very hard at Hyundai, allowing Ogier win comfortably in an event he was happy finish on any points.

Hyundai also lost two of their drivers. Tanak started well and seemed to be on control, when his rear suspension buckled on SS12. Sordo was heading for podium finish when he rolled out on SS15. That left Neuville (pictured) to salvage third, no consolation for team who had expected a win.

Both M-Sport Fords stopped on first day, Suninen first as he went off on SS1 and Greensmith (pictured) was halted by gearbox problems. Both ran early on the road on subsequent days so they had no chance to make good times and finished very low.
