Monte-Carlo – SS6: Evans stops Ogier’s series

Elfyn Evans ends perfect streak of Sébastien Ogier. The Welshman became the first driver apart from Ogier to score a scratch on this Rally Monte-Carlo, with the best time during SS6. The double vice-world champion sounded the revolt, he who was trapped this morning by a puncture and relegated to 5th place overall. Thanks to this first scratch, Elfyn Evans gets closer to the podium and is 10 seconds behindOtt Tänak, currently 4th in the event.

Sébastien Ogier, défait pour seulement 5 dixièmes de secondes dans cette 6e spéciale, a retrouvé la pleine capacité de sa Toyota Yaris. Le déploiement du système hybride retrouvé, le Français peut se permettre de gérer son confortable avance, qui s’élève à 36 secondes devant Kalle Rovanperä. Le champion en titre a pris la 2e place devant Thierry Neuville.

For Pierre-Louis Loubet, it's a long afternoon ahead. The Corsican will try to rally the audience this evening without power steering on his Ford Puma, but the Habs refuse to give up. Logically, the Frenchman dropped more than 2'35 on this special.
