The weather conditions in the last day of the rally offered a lot of rain and water in the stages with fogs.
The stage SS 14 La Bollene Vesubie – Col de TuriniMoulinet 23.40 km was cancelled. First the stage start was delay with 19 minutes due too a lot of snow. Jaroslav Melicharek went off and blocked the road for the cars behind. The crews affected by Jaroslav Melicharek's car blocking the route will be given a notional time. The last stage SS 15 Sospel – Col de BrouisBreil sur Roya 16.55 km starts with new delay.
Mikko Hirvonen was the big loser today as problems with the alternator force him to out the rally.
