MATOSINHOS, Portugal: Ott Tanak won the Rally de Portugal on Sunday but Sebastien Ogier climbed to third on the final day to preserve his lead in the driver standings.
Tanak, who won the overall race by 15.9 seconds ahead of Neuville, has already won this year's Swedish and Chilean rallies. Taking the final stage Frenchman Ogier scored valuable extra points in the overall standings but it also means he will start first in the next rally in Sardinia."This is kind of bad news because I wasn't planning on opening the road in Sardinia," Ogier said."I had to hit the brakes just before the finish line to make sure Seb opens the road in Sardinia!" he said.
