Although Elfyn Evans (Toyota Yaris Rally1) continues to lead Rallye Monte Carlo, his Gazoo Racing team mate and nine-time event winner Sebastien Ogier is right on his bumper and ready to pounce after moving into second place just 4.5s shy of the Welshman. Belgian Thierry Neuville (Hyundai i20 Rally1) is a further 11.6s away and still very much in the equation after the day’s six stages in the French Alps.
