It would have been a shame if the team Peugeot -Luxembourg is not making the trip to Cyprus, as its pilot Thierry Neuville shone this season in IRC. After 10 events, the Belgian and his co-driver Nicolas Gilsoul occupy third place in the general classification, and can still hope to win, even if it looks complicated. In order to offer the winner of the Tour de Corse and Sanremo every chance of achieving his goals, the decision was therefore made to pack his bags for Cyprus, the final meeting of the season. “The chances exist, underlines Adelheid Terryn, the team's communications manager. We believe that any challenge, no matter how difficult, must be met to the end. »

“I couldn't dream of a better gift for the end of the year, jubilant Neuville. But where would I be if Peugeot Belgium-Luxembourg had not believed in me? Thanks to them, I have had some great rallies, and have gained experience which will be beneficial to me throughout my career. Thanks to the exceptional motivation of the team, everything is possible.”
