It was a bit more slippery than expected at the start and really dirty at the end, but I&#8217;m feeling fine. There&#8217;s still one stage to go and I need to stay focused on the Power Stage,&#8221;<\/em> summed up the Belgian, as serene and smiling as ever. He knows the feeling, since he has already won the opening event of WRC in 2020, ahead of Ogier, after a similar driving display.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;It was already over after the first special stage (this morning),&#8221;<\/em> agreed Ogier, with a smile on his face. <em>&#8220;Thierry is flying. I\u2019m not the kind of guy who takes risks for nothing&#8221;<\/em>, Ogier added, as if already acknowledging his defeat, without waiting for SS17 on Col de Turini. But the Gap man is not disappointed, and he says it clearly: <em>&#8220;If I don&#8217;t win a 10th time here, it doesn&#8217;t really matter, because I&#8217;ve already won nine times, and nobody has done as well&#8221;<\/em>. Not even Seb Loeb, who has won 9 times in Spain and Germany, but only 8 times in Monte-Carlo.<\/p>\n<p>There will be two drivers to keep a close eye on in SS17, aiming for the 5 points awarded to the Power Stage winner: Elfyn Evans (3rd) and Ott T\u00e4nak (4th), at the end of a rather frustrating weekend. They would love to close it in style, with a bit of panache, especially if the two aliens ease off a bit&#8230; which is far from guaranteed!<\/p>\n<p>In WRC2, on the other hand, the game is far from over. There is now only a 0.9 second gap left between Pepe Lopez (Skoda) and Yohan Rossel (Citro\u00ebn), while Nikolay Gryazin has dropped back to third, 5 seconds behind. Not over yet&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"cta blue\" href=\"https:\/\/rallyliveresults.com\/wrc\/live-result\/epreuves-speciales-special-stages\/?stage=16\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Classification SS16<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With just 14.8km to go on Col de Turini (SS17) and a 13.5-second lead over S\u00e9bastien Ogier, it&#8217;s starting to look good for Thierry Neuville, leader of the 92nd Monte-Carlo Rally and fastest on SS16 between Digne-les-Bains and Chaudon-Norante (16.01km), in order to show, one more time, who is the boss this year. &#8220;So far, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10597043,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[47,62,393],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10597045","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-headline-news","category-rallye-monte-carlo-en","category-a-la-une-en","millesime-495"],"acf":{"contenu_des_pages":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
