Sebastien Ogier made an impressive comeback on Friday during the Monte Carlo Rally’s leg. He charged from third to first overall in the 2025 WRC season-opener as Thierry Neuville and Elfyn Evans encountered difficulties on the Alpine roads. Ogier, aiming for his 10th Monte Carlo Rally triumph, fought back from a setback on Thursday to lead by 12.6s by Friday evening. His Toyota teammate Evans briefly led but faced challenges, eventually losing the lead to Ogier. Despite Neuville’s efforts, he had to retire due to rear-left suspension damage, clearing the way for Ogier’s dominance. Adrien Fourmaux and Kalle Rovanpera also showcased strong performances in the rally, adding to the thrilling competition.
