Ogier wins in Sweden rally

Hagfors (Sweden) (AFP) - World champion Sebastien Ogier, in a VW Polo, continued his victorious start to the season when he won the Rally of Sweden on Sunday.

Thierry Neuville of Belgium, in a Hyundai i20, was second, having finished Saturday's second day in control with Ogier back in third, nearly 10 seconds down.

But the Frenchman, already winner of the season-opening Monte Carlo Rally, clawed his way back to overhaul both Neuville and Norway's Andreas Mikkelsen, who finished third.

The third race of the season is the Rally of Mexico from March 5-8.
