Kilpailun voittoon ajoi ensimmäisen kerran urallaan Hyundain Thierry Neuville.
Toyotan ja samalla Tommi Mäkisen alaisuudessa ajavat Sébastien Ogier ja Elfyn Evans olivat toinen ja kolmas.
Neljänneksi ajaneella Esapekka Lapilla (M-Sport) tuli kärkeen eroa yli kolme minuuttia, mutta lauantai-aamuun asti haasteita kokenut suomalaiskuljettaja onnistui lauantain ja sunnuntain viimeisillä erikoiskokeilla. Näin ollen sijoitus oli kuljettajan uran paras Montessa.
Myös Kalle Rovanperä ajoi huikean rallin – Vaikka kuljettaja jäi ilman Power Stage -pisteitä, ensimmäistä kertaa WRC-autolla ajanut kuljettaja oli tyytyväinen omaan suoritukseensa.
Suomalaisista Teemu Suninen joutui keskeyttämään torstaina, mutta viikonlopun edetessä nousi kahdeksanneksi.
MM-rallin ensimmäinen osakilpailu oli näin ollen suomalaissilmin katsottuna oikein hyvä.
