Elfyn Evans trailed Sebastien Ogier by 1.2 seconds after the first day of the Monte Carlo Rally

Welsh driver Elfyn Evans finished third in the Monte Carlo Rally as Toyota team-mate Sebastien Ogier took second behind Thierry Neuville.

Evans led going into the final day but Belgian Neuville overtook him and Ogier to finish more than 12 seconds clear.

The Welshman ended just over 14 seconds behind the winner.

"We were happy until last night - I can't say I have been happy today. It never really clicked and I'm not sure of the reason," said Evans.

"There's some work to do but overall it was a positive weekend."

Friday's opening stages were marred by defending world champion Ott Tanak's crash while Ogier and Evans were level after the 11th stage on Saturday.

But the Welshman took the lead on stage 12 and led Frenchman Ogier by almost five seconds going into Sunday.
