Far more likely Neuville will overcook it in pursuit than Ogier will lose a 16 second lead. Any driver with pretensions of being world champion should learn from the way Ogier has approached this rally.
Yes you're probably right, we can only hope he (& anyone capable) takes away the power stage points from Ogier, 'cause in the end they might (just) make a difference.
❌ Adrien Fourmaux and Alex Coria have been forced to retire, with the damage sustained in an off on Sunday's first stage causing too much damage to safely continue.
If it finishes like this, it'll be Pajari's first podium finish.
