He's fine in finish.
Fourmaux had to remove the driveshaft and replace the steering rod.

It begins to become quite clear in each category.
Pretty much set in RC1 with Neuville 1st, Evans 2nd, Ogier 3rd and Sordo 4th (except if Ogier wakes up late tomorrow as today :D ). Ogier will probably begin Monza with a 20-point lead or even more and the win-tiebreaker for him so probably zero-risk approach and the 200th French WRC win is probably not for 2021.
In RC2, close fight between Camilli and Gryazin for the class win.
But in WRC2, without issue, the positions are set and if it stays like this, Mikkelsen will be champion tomorrow whatever are the results of the Power Stage.
And in WRC3, Lindholm is dominating but Kajto gets closer from Lopez in the last stage (important for Kajto to take this 2nd place because if not, he might be forced to win in Monza according to the results of tomorrow power stage).
In JWRC, Joona gets closer from Pajari with the latter’s puncture but Pajari takes back some time in the last stage. If Pajari wins, he is champion. If Pajari is 2nd, Armstrong (if he comes back tomorrow) may be champion depending on how much stages he wins tomorrow (at very least 2 needed).

Ogier:
"Better late than never! It was a tough first half of the rally for us. We have been working a lot on the car and now I am starting to feel better. I have never changed so much on a car during a rally, but at least we have finally found better pace."
I think that after the VW years it seems that often he finds it difficult to get a setup which suits him from the beginning of the rally.
At almost all rallies he needs to make some changes to feel more comfortable and especially in Finland and Spain he got it totally wrong.
Only after many setup changes, in both rallies, he finally had a good setup and pace at Saturday's 2nd loop, which is not enough.
He is the only from the top 4, who despite the dirt at the afternoon loop, improved his times from the morning. Of course he was the fastest.
Superb live again! lol

Huh, Ogier lost nearly 6 seconds on the city stage compared to Sordo.
EDIT: Stalled engine.
