Chicherit on a royal road

During the first 212 km loop around Mora, Filipe Campos (BMW X3 CC) and Carlos Sousa (Mitsubishi Racing Lancer) both tore off a wheel in a big trap. The second loop was fatal for Miguel Barbosa (BMW X3 CC), who rolled. As a result, Guerlain Chicherit found himself without opponents and was well ahead, ahead of Helder Oliveira and his Nissan Pathfinder by more than 1 hour and 4 minutes. Tomorrow, there are 140 km of special stages remaining, before the final finish in Estoril. If he does not experience any problems, the Frenchman could win in style not only the event, but also the FIA ​​World Cup for Cross-Country Rallies. After his roll the day before, carried out in slow motion in a hairpin, Nicolas Misslin left again this morning, very far in the depths of the ranking. This did not prevent him from signing, at the wheel of his Mitsubishi MPR 13, the second time in the 6th special. As for Nani Roma, author of the best time in the first loop, he gave up the second round due to the heat. For two days, the temperature has reached 40°, literally exhausting the pilots?
