Pascal Couasnon, Michelin Motorsport director

The 2017 Rallye Monte-Carlo will be very interesting because of the new-

generation World Rally Cars, the returns of Toyota and Citroën, and Sébastien

Ogier’s debut with M-Sport. It’s got the makings of being a great event. We

worked hard with all our partner teams to be ready for the big day. We will no

doubt introduce evolution versions of our WRC tyres in the course of the season

as a function of the feedback we get after the early rounds.
