The first day of action from Rally France was full of surprises; Sebastien Loeb took the early lead in the morning, but a re-surging Thierry Neuville, whose championship hopes are now over as Sebastien Ogier clinched the title on Thursday evening, snatched the lead after a dominant performance in the afternoon. Neuville enters the second day with a 9.8-second gap to Citroen’s Dani Sordo. Watch footage from the first leg in the video below.
