For the Belgian, a weekend in crescendo, considering the victory in the last three stages, raced on Sunday. Ogier, who has won five special stages (like Neuville), uncorks the sparkling wine in the Temple of Speed not without having run a few thrills. In particular in the PS14 “Grand Prix 2” on Sunday morning, when the transalpine ace touched a jersey on a fast stretch drawn on the old Sopraelevata: luckily for him, the Toyota Yaris only reported some dents and minor damage to the rim and to the right front tire . Serious damage at that moment could have rewritten the epilogue of the World Cup.
