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). The French crew set the best time in the Els Omells – Malda 2 special (11,05 km), which allows them to regain the lead of the 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) and Ott Tänak (Hyundai) are less than 7″ from the Habs.
