Domani 73 equipaggi si sfideranno sulle strade di Valence e come per tutte le stagioni del Campionato del Mondo Rally l’ordine di partenza è stato già deciso all’inizio del campionato dai piloti stessi. Il primo a partire domani mattina alle 9 sulle strade del Le Moulinon sarà Sebastien Loeb e dopo pochi minuti seguiranno la Citroen DS3 di Mikko Hirvonen e la Volkswagen Polo R WRC di JM Latvala.
L’ordine di partenza di domani potrebbe avvantaggiare i piloti in fondo alla lista come Sebastien Ogier ( ottavo in lista ) e Dani Sordo ( nono in lista ), a causa di una speciale già pulita dai precedenti passaggi e quindi di un miglior grip.
La prima tappa del Rally di Monte-Carlo prevede 4 prove speciali, Le Moulinon ( PS1-3 ) di 37,10 km e la Burzet – St Martial ( PS2-4 ) di quasi 31 km.
