Jost Capito, Volkswagen Motorsport Director'There could hardly be a trickier start to the World Rally Championship. Plenty of grip on dry asphalt here, snow and ice there – you never know what is waiting for you at the 'Monte'. Our three driver/co-driver pairings took the conditions into account and opted for cautious starts. So far, so good. Many more challenges typical of the 'Monte' await us over the coming days. After the way today panned out, I am confident.' Provisional result after day one of the Rally Monte Carlo 01. Kris Meeke/Paul Nagle (GB/IRL), Citroën, 25m 32.1s 02.
