WRC Rally Monte Carlo : Timings after SS3 MONTAUBAN SUR L'OUVEZE - LABOREL 1

SS3 looks to be a tough one as the route has a 300 meter climb in the first half of the stage and descends steeply in the second half of the same. There was heavy snow for the last 8 kms of the SS3.
The drivers with the winter tyres on have surely been helped by the snow in the later half of the SS3 as we see Bouffier, Sordo, Meeke and Evans make astonishing timings in the SS3.
Bouffier wins the stage followed by Evans, Sordo and Meeke.
Kubica meanwhile drops down to fourth overall.
Bouffier leads the Rally Monte Carlo by over 13 seconds followed by Meeke and Sordo respectively.

Here are the SS3 stage timings.
