Sébastien Ogier (Ford Fiesta) set the provisional best time in the shakedown of the Rally Monte-Carlo at the end of its first two passages. The four-time champion of WRC established the first reference time by completing the 3,5km course in 2'18''1. The Frenchman precedes his former teammate Andreas Mikkelsen by a little more than 4 seconds, astonishingly on his Skoda Fabia R5.
Ott Tänak (Ford) pointe au 3e rang à près de 2 secondes du Norvégien et en devançant d’une seconde Jari-Matti Latvala (Toyota Yaris). Hayden Paddon (Hyundai i20) complète le top 5 provisoire à 6 dixièmes du Finlandais. Dani Sordo suit son coéquipier néo-zélandais à 2 dixièmes. Juho Hänninen (Toyota) est 7e devant Thierry Neuville (Hyundai).
Citroën drivers are in clear decline with Craig Breen (DS 3) and Stéphane Lefebvre (C3) are 17 seconds behind Sébastien Ogier, while Kris Meeke is 20 seconds behind.
