Hi, friends!
Eight-time World Rally champion Seb Ogier had a puncture on an opening special stage of this new event for the World Rally Championship, lost lots of time, and now at the end of day two, he is leading a rally. That's why he won eight driver's crowns.
He would win even more titles if he didn't opt for Citroën in 2019, or didn't opt for part time drive in the last few seasons. But we let's not judge in advance because there are still foir special stages and anything can happen before the end of event.
So Ogier (Toyota) leads the rally ahead of Adrien Fourmaux (Hyundai), who's gap is 10.3s. Toyota's Elfyn Evans is in 3rd place overall with more then half a minute behind a leader, but still in front of Estonian Ott Tanak (Hyundai) who is just 2.5s behind Evans.
Current WRC champion Thierry Neuville (Hyundai) is in 5th place, less then a minute behind a leader. Winner of last event (Finland), Kalle Rovanpera, is in distant 6th place with more then two minutes behind Seb Ogier.
Tomorrow is last day of competition and anything can happen before the finish line. Let the best win - as always...
