He set a memorable fastest time on SS9 on Saturday morning, to kick off Day 3 in style, and ended it in the same way with another phenomenal fastest time on SS14, at sunset.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to beating Ogier (Toyota) by 4.1 seconds between Pellafol and Agni\u00e8res-en-D\u00e9voluy (21.37 km), the Belgian regained the upper hand in this high-flying duel that pitted him all day against the Frenchman, beaten fair and square on the day: <em>&#8220;Since the start of the rally, I&#8217;ve done my utmost to try and catch him, in fact, but today I didn&#8217;t do enough. He (Neuville) did a good stage. We&#8217;ll have to push even more tomorrow,&#8221;<\/em> smiled the eight-time world champion as he looked at his rival&#8217;s time on the board at the end of the stage.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;We did a good stage, it was perfection,&#8221;<\/em> reacted Neuville at the last stop of this long day (120 km). He had already said, after the previous stage, that <em>&#8220;everything is in place, everything is going well&#8221;<\/em>. He repeated it, clearly delighted with his performance, and added some detailed insight: <em>&#8220;I&#8217;m really enjoying the car, it&#8217;s incredible. Obviously, it was important to take the points tonight but we need to keep the car on the road [until tomorrow]\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Neuville and Ogier on another planet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This Saturday evening, before the last three stages on Sunday morning (SS15 to 17), Neuville has a 3.3 second lead over Ogier, and above all 18 points in the World Championship, under the new points scale. There is just one condition to fulfil: to complete the rally on Sunday, in Monaco, whatever his position in Sunday&#8217;s classification.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s something new this year in the WRC, and Elfyn Evans, who has been on a back foot since Friday morning, is determined to make the most of it: <em>&#8220;With the new format, tomorrow is a new day, and that&#8217;s how we&#8217;re going to attack it,&#8221;<\/em> summed up the Welshman from Toyota. He was completely outclassed on Saturday by the Neuville-Ogier duet, he only holds 13 points tonight, but he is capable of pulling out a great Sunday to take 7 more points, plus 5 for winning the Power Stage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The provisional assessment of this rally is clear: this week, Neuville and Ogier are aliens, as Evans is relegated to 34.9 seconds and T\u00e4nak to almost two minutes. When it comes to fastest times in the stages, there&#8217;s no photo finish either: 6 for Ogier, including the 700thof his career on SS13, 5 for Neuville (3 on Friday, 2 on Saturday), 2 for Evans and just one for T\u00e4nak (on SS11, by 12 thousandths of a second).
