Sebastien Ogier Leads WRC Rally Sardinia After Thierry Neuville Crashes Out
- Sebastien Ogier took a slender 2.1-second lead over Hyundai's Adrien Fourmaux after Friday's six gravel stages at Rally Italia Sardegna in Italy.
- The eventful Friday included tough gravel conditions and multiple retirements, such as reigning champion Thierry Neuville retiring after damaging his left rear wheel on a rock.
- Ogier started third, won the morning's opening stage, endured road cleaning challenges, and capitalized on rivals' errors late in the day to snatch the overall lead.
- Ogier expressed surprise at his lead, saying he would have accepted it without hesitation given the strong level of competition currently in the rally.
- Ogier's narrow margin suggests a highly competitive rally continues Saturday over six stages spanning 121 kilometers with expected high attrition among top contenders.
