This is Monte Carlo, and these three gentlemen are here for the most high stakes game in the world of rallying. To win at this table requires talent, courage, and a sixth sense in reading the opponent.
Kalle Rovanperä. Now, he may look young, but don’t let that fool you. He’s the best in the world.
This relaxed-looking fellow, well, that’s Ott Tänak. The Estonian is not afraid to make tough decisions, and he’s trusted a familiar outfit to have his back in his push for the title.
Thierry Neuville. He’s got all the talents to win at the top table: speed of thought and action, a calm temperament, even when the game doesn’t always go his way.
So, our first spin of the wheel is here, in Monte Carlo. They’ve placed their bets, but who will take the first spoils?
