CER - 1st Day: One stage win puts Ogier into the CER lead

At the end of Thursday, Sebastien Ogier is leading Central European Rally with Kalle Rovanpera and Adrien Fourmaux following him.

Sebastien Ogier takes an early lead in Central Europe as he was the fastest driver in Stage 1 while he was beaten by Kalle Rovanpera for 0,1 seconds in SS2.

Rovanpera stole Forumaux's second place at the end of SS2 and reported understeer with his Yaris after Stage 1.

Fourmaux is the leading Hyundai driver as he slipped behind Rovanpera for 2,3 seconds at the end of SS2.

Sami Pajari and Takamoto Katsuta are identical in fourth position overall, but the young Finn was faster than Katsuta for some thousandths of a second, so the last one is fifth. 

Elfyn Evans comes right behind his teammates for 0,4 seconds and hit a bale in a chicane of Stage 1.

Only one tenth of a second separated the seventh Ott Tanak from Evans.

Thierry Neuville, Gregoire Munster and Josh McErlean complete the top 10.
