Ogier takes title
Print Edition
Frenchman Sebastien Ogier clinched the world rally championship title after Belgium’s Thierry Neuville failed to win the first special stage of the Rally France on Thursday. Ogier, who drives for Volkswagen, started the rally with an 83-point lead over Neuville in the standings and can no longer be caught by Neuville, who needed maximum points from the three remaining races and power stages on each rally. Points are awarded for Thursday’s power stage and Neuville’s second-place finish means he can no longer score maximum points. Neuville finished 0.7 seconds behind stage winner Daniel Sordo of Spain with Ogier .01 second adrift of Neuville in third place. Ogier succeeds nine-time champion and fellow countryman Sebastien Loeb.
