Quentin Giordano widens a slight gap

The fight is as close as ever between Quentin Giordano (Polo GTi R5-Sarrazin Motorsport) and Yoann Bonato (C3 Rally2-CHL Sport Auto). The two drivers go head to head in each timed sector. Before the last loop of rally, the driver from Nancy is 2,4 seconds ahead of the three-time French Champion. The final stages promise to be decisive, especially if the rain appears in the afternoon.

Cédric Robert (A110-Bonneton HDG) and Anthony Cosson (Porsche 911 GT3 Cup) engage in a high-flying duel in the match for the third step on the podium. Both drivers are at the limit and it is Robert who has the last word for the moment.

Pierre Roché (C3 Rally2-Team FJ) completes the provisional Top 5, just ahead of Julien Saunier (A110-Sébastien Loeb Racing Bardahl) Trophy leader Alpine Elf Rally.

In the Michelin Trophy, Giordano dominates the “R5” classification while Robert is uncompromising in “Except R5” in addition to his leadership in the classification reserved for two-wheel drive.

Leading the 208 Rally Cup, Hugo Margaillan violently went off the road on SS 9, his co-driver was injured. Hugo Louvel also declared his retirement in this special. Réhane Gany just has to “roll out” to get his first victory in the promotion formula.

Twists and turns also in the Clio Trophy France! Indeed, Thomas Chauffray, the leader, made a mistake in SS 8. Romain di Fante took the opportunity to take the lead ahead of Karl Pinheiro.

As for the Junior Championship, Terence Callea remains in the lead while Florian Bouchonneau is getting a little closer to the title after moving up to second place.
