This was already the case on Saturday, with mud and rain, during the short shakedown (3.28 km), held near Gap. Ott Tänak (Hyundai) emerged victorious from the exercise with a best time achieved on his first pass (2’09”8) ahead of two Toyotas, that of full-time “returner” Kalle Rovanperä (+ 0”7) , absent last year, and the still freelancer Sébastien Ogier (+ 0”8). For respectively their first with the number 1 and their new team, Thierry Neuville (+1”0) and Adrien Fourmaux (+2”3) took 5th and 6th places for Hyundai.
