Sebastien Ogier continued his perfect start to the WRC opener at RallyMonteCarlo, while a puncture dented Elfyn Evans' charge on Friday morning. Full report ⬇️
Ogier picked up from where he left off on Thursday night. The Frenchman was again the man to beat as the field face the first daylight stages of the rally. Road conditions remained dry although there was snow on the hillsides as temperatures hovered below freezing.Photo by: McKlein /Making the most of his Monte Carlo experience, Ogier, who was the only Rally1 driver to carry one spare tyre, opened the morning by winning Stage 3.
Rovanpera, running a split of soft and super soft tyres, passed through the blend of fast and technical roads to post the third fastest time, 6.1s adrift. The time was enough to briefly rise to third overall, ahead of rivals Neuville and Tanak, who were unable to match the pace of the Toyotas. Neuville was third fastest on the stage which lifted him to third overall, while Katsuta displayed his potential as the Japanese set a time good enough for fourth fastest, 6.0s adrift. The time arrived despite a slow puncture.Starting first on the road, Rovanpera faced arguably the trickiest of the conditions due to the salt on the roads, designed to clear the ice. The Finn dropped 10s on the slippery surface, while Tanak, second on the road, shipped 7.8s.
