Catalonia, SS5: Ogier on the restart

The first special of this Friday afternoon loop begins in the best possible way for Sébastien Ogier and Benjamin Veillas (Toyota). L’équipage français a signé le meilleur temps dans la spéciale Els Omells – Malda 2 (11,05 km), ce qui leur permet de reprendre la tête du Rally of Catalonia 2022.

“It’s a good start for uss, the eight-time world champion is satisfied WRC. Starting 7th, I knew it would be difficult this morning given the number of ropes, so we can be satisfied to be very close to the lead. I felt good in the car, we must continue like this. It remains very tight. »

Ogier now has a lead of 3″2 over the former leader, Thierry Neuville (Hyundai). Kalle Rovanperä (Toyota) et Ott Tänak (Hyundai) are less than 7″ from the Habs.
