I was a little too cautious, especially at the end, but it was more complicated to be as committed as in SS1. I didn&#8217;t do a good stage, but I set a good time,\u201d<\/em> said Ogier at the end of SS2.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThis stage was very dirty at the end, so I had to slow down. I think the spectators dirtied the road a bit (by stepping on it),\u201d<\/em> said Neuville, a two-time winner in the Principality (2020 2024). As for Adrien Fourmaux (Hyundai), 3rd on this special stage just 1.2 seconds behind Ogier, the absolute benchmark for Monte-Carlo performance, he is now just two tenths behind Elfyn Evans (Toyota) in the overall standings.<\/p>\n<p>The Frenchman had announced before the start on Thursday on Casino Square that he intended to run a waiting race, in his first race in a Hyundai after five seasons with Ford M-Sport. <em>\u201cThe speed at the start of this stage was huge. It was very tricky, with ice here and there. A special stage worthy of the Monte Carlo,\u201d <\/em>summed up Fourmaux, author of five podiums last year in a M-Sport Ford, and 5th in the 2024 championship.<\/p>\n<p>Behind the leading trio, provisionally made up of Ogier, Neuville and Fourmaux, another Hyundai driver, Ott T\u00e4nak, took 4th place on SS2, 6.4 seconds behind Ogier. This was a much better result than Kalle Rovanper\u00e4, who was only 9th on the stage, 22.9 seconds behind Ogier, i.e. more than a second lost per kilometer. The Finn, twice world champion, was even beaten by his compatriot Sami Pajari, also with Toyota but a Rally1 debutant.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIt&#8217;s not me who&#8217;s quicker than Kalle, it&#8217;s the two of us who are bad,\u201d<\/em> smiled the 2024 WRC2 champion, with total humility. In WRC2, the battle continued at the front between Russian-Bulgarian Nikolay Gryazin, in his Skoda Fabia RS, and Frenchman Yohan Rossel (Citro\u00ebn C3). They finished ahead of Oliver Solberg (Toyota Yaris Rally2), who went back on the attack after a touch and a wheel change in SS1.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"cta\" href=\"https:\/\/rallyliveresults.com\/wrc\/live-result\/epreuves-speciales-special-stages\/?stage=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SS2 results<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>S\u00e9bastien Ogier (Toyota) continued imposing an infernal pace on Thursday evening, setting his second fastest time in a row in the second special stage of this 93rd edition, between Faucon-du-Caire and Br\u00e9ziers (SS2, 21.18 km), the longest special stage of the first evening.
