Ogier wins Acropolis Rally as Neuville suffers double puncture

A 4.1-second deficit heading into Sunday's final stages made this look like Neuville's rally to lose — and that is precisely what happened. A double puncture is the cruellest outcome in rallying, where tyre management on abrasive Greek roads is a discipline in itself, and it hands Ogier a win he did not need to manufacture. For Hyundai, it is the kind of result that reopens championship conversations they may have thought were closing; for Toyota and Ogier, a second win of the season built on patience rather than pace is exactly the kind of gift you accept without complaint.
