BREAKING NEWS:
Ogier wins Rally
Sweden

Sebastien Ogier has taken a sensational victory in Rally Sweden and secured a maiden win for Volkswagen's new Polo R World Rally Car on only the manufacturer's second event.

Ogier, 29, dominated the World Rally Championship’s snow and ice round after taking the lead from his fellow Frenchman Sebastien Loeb on Friday morning.

Loeb, in a Citroen DS3, kept the pressure on his former team-mate right to the end, but eventually had to settle for the runners-up spot, 41.8sec behind Ogier and his co-driver Julien Ingrassia.

Ford Fiesta RS driver Mads Ostberg was third, the Norwegian finishing 42.7sec adrift of Loeb.
