March for Michelin Motorsport comes to a close with the FIA World Rally Championship and MotoGP^TM World Championship both in action this weekend. WRC was at the Tour de Corse, with the motorcycles in Argentina.

Hyundai driver Thierry Neuville claimed his 10th FIA World Rally Championship victory in Corsica at the Tour de Corse. However, Neuville benefited from Elfyn Evans’ demise in the race, as the Ford driver looked poised to win.

Earlier in the rally, Evans won Michelin’s 500th Tour de Corse stage. He led the rally through 13 of 14 stages. But on the fourteenth and final stage, he broke his right front wheel, resulting in a heartbreaking drop down to third. Sebastien Ogier slotted into second in his Citroen.

Here is Michelin’s post-rally WRC release. Next up for the WRC is Argentina, April 26-28. Fittingly, that’s where MotoGP^TM was this weekend.
