RS12: Decremer and Climent Asensio untouchable!

It was the last regularity stage of a very long day, between Recoubeau-Jansac and Pennes-le-Sec (RS12, 16.1 km), and it confirmed what most observers of the 27th Rallye Monte Carlo Historique believe. Victory on Col de Turini, shortly before midnight on Tuesday, is likely to come down to two crews who have dominated this 2025 edition, head and shoulders: the Belgian duo of Michel Decremer and Jennifer Hugo, in an antique 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia TI and the Spanish tandem of Luis Climent Asensio and Carles Jimenez Valls, in a slightly more recent BMW 323i (1981).

These two teams finished RS12 in the same order as they had finished RS6 on Sunday afternoon. And the climb over Col de Pennes (1040 m) didn’t trouble them at all, as they were immersed in their battle at the top, before the return to Valence for a final night in the Drôme. They only took 40 penalty points, over 16km, and continued to extend their lead over their theoretical pursuers, who only have five stages left on Tuesday to turn the tables.

In detail, the top two crews in this 27th edition were separated by 220 points after SR6 at midday on Sunday. They are only 300 points apart on Monday evening after SR12, which gives an idea of the intensity of the battle. The Belgians are playing in the low average category, which only involved around thirty crews on Monday morning, and the Spaniards in the high average class, with 170 other cars at the start of the Common Leg.

Another small detail: on Monday evening, there were still 198 cars parked on Champ de Mars in Valence, compared with 203 at sunrise on Monday morning. It’s another sign that the preparation of the cars for a Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique is becoming more and more thorough, more and more serious, more and more perfect, whatever the age of the cars. And there is only one more day to go, this Tuesday, between Valence and Monaco…
