A third place in the Monte Carlo Rally: for Thierry Neuville there was no chance at the season opener of the World Rally Championship.

Sébastien Ogier (Toyota) sets an absolute victory record with a ninth victory in the principality, his teammate Kalle Rovanperä seized second place. Worse for Neuville: Rovanperä took another three bonus points more than the Hyundai leader in the final Power Stage. “We could never really get close to their times,” Neuville admitted frankly. “And then it’s a matter of limiting damage. That worked out nicely with a podium finish. In three weeks in Sweden it could look completely different.”
