As in the heyday of his win in the 1988 edition of Rallye Monte-Carlo, in WRC, Bruno Saby appeared at the very top of a time sheet, on Saturday morning, and won RS12 between Le Fugeret and Thorame-Haute (17.9 km ). Perfectly navigated by Pascal Serre, in the right seat of their hydrogen-powered Hyundai Nexo, Saby perfectly respected the average imposed by the organizers. At the end of this famous Colle Saint-Michel, the crew of Team Espoir Cancer Braley Koni was tied with Antoine Dechamps and Michael Salvador, in their VW ID4. It was a very tight special, where eight crews finished in 3rd place, starting with Didier Malga and Anne-Valérie Bonnel (Porsche Taycan), winners in 2017 and still 5th overall, ahead of Saby-Serre in their Hyundai Nexo (6th).
