Rallye du Touquet – Léo Rossel remains strong

With three consecutive scratches this morning, Léo Rossel (C3 Rally2-PH Sport by Minerva Oil) has established himself as the boss of this 64th edition of the Rally of Touquet.

The Citroën driver will start the last three stages more than 44 seconds ahead of Yoann Bonato (C3 Rally2-Trajectus Motorsport). The reigning French champion knows that the points for second place will be important on a rally considered very demanding.

This is undoubtedly the performance of the rally! Eric Brunson (C3 Rally2) is in provisional third place. But the Norman will have to contain a very comfortable Anthony Fotia (C3 Rally2-PH Sport by Minerva Oil) on this second stage.

Jean-Baptiste Franceschi (Fiesta Rally2-Sarrazin Motorsport-Iron Lynx) is at the foot of the podium ahead of Hugo Margaillan (i20 N Rally2-CHL Sport Auto), the big loser this morning with a puncture in SS 10 which cost him a minute.

In two-wheel drive, Quentin Gilbert (A110 Rally) took first place, one second ahead of Raphaël Astier (A110 Rally-CHL Sport Auto). The last loop will be decisive!
