Rallying – Meeke dominates Ogier to eye Portugal win

Britain’s Kris Meeke shrugged off having missed the last two races to open a 45-second gap over world champion Sebastien Ogier at the Rally of Portugal. Meeke, who is only competing in a reduced schedule this season, was in complete control in his Citroen, winning the three morning stages to extend his lead to almost a minute. He maintained his advantage in the afternoon and made the most of the clear track after Ogier’s VW Polo, starting higher up the order, had swept away the loose gravel. Ogier goes into Sunday’s final day under pressure from VW team-mate Andreas Mikkelsen who is just three seconds behind.
