Sébastien Ogier sits on the cusp of a record-breaking ninth Rallye Monte-Carlo victory after outwitting arch-adversary Sébastien Loeb in the snow and ice of the French Alps on Saturday.
Ogier headed to the closing speed test over the Col de Fontbelle with 5.0sec in hand over his fellow Frenchman after reclaiming the lead earlier in the penultimate leg.
With 5km of wintry roads at the top of the pass, Loeb laid out his cards by bravely fitting his Ford Puma with Pirelli's soft compound asphalt rubber. He hoped to benefit on the dry sections before minimising the time loss on the ice.
Ogier had already decided to mix two soft tyres and two snow tyres on his Toyota GR Yaris, but on seeing Loeb's selection, he made a last-gasp switch to the same combination. He then outpaced Loeb by 16.1sec to reach the final overnight halt with a 21.1sec lead.
"I was planning to go with the snow tyres because that was the safest option but I saw that Séb was going for slicks so I swapped at the last minute before the start," Ogier explained. "It was tricky to drive in places."
Loeb could not reproduce the pace that carried him to four fastest times yesterday.
"Now the gap is a bit far," he admitted. "We tried but Ogier saw it and changed at the last minute. It was really tricky with the slicks and very easy to make a mistake but we're here."
After a day of breathless drama, Craig Breen was third in another Puma. The Irishman was 64.9sec adrift of Loeb, but a clean run enabled him to climb from sixth.
After a dismal opening two days, Kalle Rovanperä found a more balanced set-up for his GR Yaris and soared from ninth to fourth. He ended 37.8sec behind Breen after winning the final two stages.
Gus Greensmith was fifth despite a puncture and an engine problem which cost time in the stages as well as a three-minute penalty as he replaced his Puma's spark plugs. Having slipped to ninth, he recovered well as his rivals fell by the wayside.
Thierry Neuville fought against a broken front damper in his Hyundai i20 N, which punched through the bonnet at one point. He dropped several minutes and ended almost eight minutes off the lead in sixth.
Elfyn Evans was third until he slid off the road, leaving his GR Yaris perched on the edge of a steep drop. He conceded 20 minutes.
Ott Tänak retired his i20 N in the first climb up the Col de Fontbelle after nosing into a bank and damaging his car's radiator, while team-mate Oliver Solberg dropped 35 minutes after locking his brakes and sliding down a bank.
Takamoto Katsuta's fifth place disappeared when he found a ditch on the col and dropped off the leaderboard.
Sunday's finale comprises two tests in the Alpes-Maritimes region driven twice without service before the finish in Monaco's Casino Square. The last stage forms the Wolf Power Stage with bonus points available for the fastest drivers. The four tests add up to 67.26km.

Why does Red Bull make better highlights then the WRC does? 💀
bc redbull is a marketing company
This is far better than the dreadful highlights you get on tv. Made a pleasant change to get non stop action and clear information, instead of the usual confused reporting and interruptions to interview someone, somewhere away from the rally.
Good work red bull.
I think the same..
Maybe 'cus Red Bull owns the WRC
They have lots of passion for motor racing
This roads with hairpin drop offs are terrifying on a good day! Now add a race and snow!! What legends!!
LOEB COMES STRAIGHT FROM DAKAR AND DOES THIS ?!!! SUPERHUMAN !
These highlights are better than those on the WRC's own channel hahah keep up the great work!
Red bull owns wrc promoter fyi
Wow, thanks!
Ogier is such a competitive guy, maybe could have gone faster with his initial tires but wanted to be equal traction wise with Loeb, haha
Yes 👍
Ogier was definitely more brave than Loeb on the frozen stuff even with equal tires. Loeb must be kicking himself for losing so much time through there
this season will be the best WRC season rivalling F1 in drama.
It has certainly started off that way
Very good highlights, well done Red Bull.
Go Loeb!
Miles ahead from WRC Highlights, that's for sure
Better highlights than the official wrc channel!
what a comebakc from ogier :D oooh this is so good ogier vs loeb lets go
These are the ultimate drivers.The best in the world with Ogier and Loeb at the top.
I've always been a fan of Ogier. So glad he's in the new Toyota.
Super Ogier 😎👍💪🚀🔥🔥🔥
Amazing performance
Feeling bad for Thierry :(
Good stuff Kalle!
Finally the Legend Loeb show EVERYONE who was the boss in the End ;)
Well done Kalle...
Come on Seb...!
Sébastien Loeb: 9 World Championship titles.
Sébastien Ogier: 8 World Championship titles.
Brits: 'We hate French!" French: 😂
They drive like my wife when the sales are on
Underrated comment.
@@StreetWarrior24 thank you, have a great day 😁
Loving the battle between the old dogs - Seb & Seb. Wondering who is likely to the replacement for these guys this year? Maybe Rovenpera will be the world champion this year with the Sebs only running part time. Interesting to watch.
SEB SEB SEB SEB
YES!
Lobe one of if not the greatest driver ever period debate me
WTF??? Ist this the next Group B? These cars are going fast😲
There's over 500hp in the new generation Hybrid Rally1 cars
Seems like everyone not named Sebastian had problems today
😂
Болею за Леба
Cali Ro Van Pera! :)
Ожье!!!!!
Nightmare rally for Hyundai, all the cars slow and with problems
Why?
Red Bull, did you think about buying all WRC discipline? 😂 I’m watch Rally last 15 years and I see how make more than official FIA… Thanks for it! Hello from Russia.
As always, I love this fantastic venue. Nevertheless, nobody (maybe the Sébs are an exception but included in the question) can claim who will win Monte. Ever. BTW, who cares if not for Séb Loeb for whom this might be his only rally this season? Let's enjoy the new rules, the new teams, the new tyres, the new stages, and the new 2022. Shall we?
Kalle continues to impress. He's gonna have a killer career if he keeps his head.
it would be good if you guys post the time table at the end as well, for the guys who cant keep up with the narrator
Loeb is the man
loeb loeb loeb.best driver all time wrc.
Another rally for Loeb, another rally where he's chasing a Toyota
Was Loeb also chasing after Toyota in the Dakar rally?
@@aaronbryan5095 yes the toyota hilux was the champion in dakar and loeb is second in that championship.
@@boballendaayan6380 I didn't realise the Audi that Loeb drove participates in the class as the Toyota Hilux😅.
@@aaronbryan5095 Loeb is in the BRX team not Audi, he was the only one that put up a fight with Nasser and his Hilux
@@MudhaffarAdhwa oh, he drove for Prodrive? I'm sorry, I really don't know much about Dakar rally.
Why are there only 3 car-manufacturers in the championship ? Money ? Interest ? Limits from the Rally-association ? Etc ?
cheers
requirements to be a world champion in motorsport:
be fast
be talented
be consistent
be named some form of sebastian/sebastien
👍👍👍👍👍
See?! I told them all the time! Give us Cars that are Real Cars not Space Ships ; ) Formula 1 will also make a big step! The Action is back and the Drivers are back! Pure Racing!!!
thank you, but nothing about katsuta's off?
"How hard can it be?"
Pity loeb isn't in a GR Yaris
Why Hyundai always have problems with suspension :(
What is this music in the beginning...
Awful
Go kalle...
👍🇵🇹
Hyundai didn't prepare well actually it was the last car to be launched for the new season
What 'carnage' exactly? Welcome to clickbait and goodbye channel!
What a horrible intro, why add one style on music to motor fans who only what to hear engine notes
