Sébastien Ogier leads a dramatic Rally Italia Sardegna as rivals falter, setting the stage for a tense final showdown.
Eight-time world champion Sébastien Ogier retained his grip on Rally Italia Sardegna as Saturday’s brutal Mediterranean stages delivered high drama and heavy attrition.
Determined to right the wrongs of last year’s heartbreak, Ogier holds an 11.1-second lead heading into Sunday’s final showdown — with redemption firmly in sight.
Twelve months ago, the Frenchman lost what looked to be a certain victory on the final stage due to a puncture, surrendering the win to Ott Tänak by just 0.2 seconds — the joint closest finish in FIA World Rally Championship history.

Benni McCarthy Made to Wait for First Harambee Stars Win as Wasteful Kenya Fail to Breach Chad

Tänak’s Tenacity Keeps Pressure On
)
Ogier drove a controlled and consistent day winning three of the six sun-scorched gravel stages as Ott Tänak mounted a gritty comeback of his own.
The Hyundai driver, who claimed the dramatic win here in 2023, suffered a slow puncture on SS9 but responded strongly with back-to-back stage wins on both runs through the treacherous Lerno–Su Filigosu test.
Despite the setback, Tänak clawed his way back to second overall and remains within striking distance.
Despite 77.78 competitive kilometres remaining across four stages on Sunday, the Estonian remains Ogier’s most significant threat, hoping to repeat his late-stage heroics from last year.
Behind the leading duo, Kalle Rovanperä quietly carved out a strong day to move into third overall. Starting the leg in fifth, the reigning two-time world champion avoided trouble and steadily moved up the leaderboard as those ahead faltered.
Evans and Pajari Hit Trouble as Positions Shift
)
Championship leader Elfyn Evans bounced back from a subdued Friday to end the day in fourth.
The Welshman showed glimpses of speed, but his charge was hampered by a wheel change on SS11, costing him vital seconds. Still, he managed to leapfrog teammate Sami Pajari, who dropped to fifth after a costly wide moment on SS9 and a later wheel change.

Kenya's AFCON 2027 Preparations Suffer Major Blow
Kenya's preparations for co-hosting AFCON 2027 face a major setback after the government excluded the critical hosting rights fee from the 2025/26 budget, amid a funding cut to the sports department.
Nikolay Gryazin, in a Škoda Fabia RS Rally2, capitalized on the chaos ahead to rise to sixth overall. Behind him, Takamoto Katsuta endured another frustrating outing, losing time to yet another wheel change and ending the day in seventh.
Oliver Solberg followed in eighth, but all eyes in the WRC2 category were on Emil Lindholm, who led the class in ninth overall and looks poised to score maximum championship points. Lauri Joona rounded out the top 10 after a steady performance.
Sunday’s finale promises high stakes and high speeds, featuring four stages including a brand-new Wolf Power Stage along the scenic Olbia coastline.
With just over 11 seconds separating the top two, and the scars of last year still fresh, Ogier knows better than anyone that in Sardinia, nothing is certain until the final time control.
