Forced to follow SS8 on television on Friday, Thierry Neuville (Hyundai) va faire de même ce samedi avec les quatre spéciales de l’après-midi.
En proie à de nouveaux problèmes techniques sur sa i20 entre les ES10 et ES11, le Belge avait tant bien que mal réussi à prendre le départ de l’onzième spéciale en 6e position derrière Takamoto Katsuta (Toyota).
Although present at the finish of SS11, Thierry Neuville will not be at the start of the second this afternoon as confirmed by Hyundai.
« The team decided to withdraw the car of Thierry Neuville and Martin Wydaeghe for the remainder of the 2nd day to evaluate and repair it in preparation for the final day of the rally. The team will have three hours to prepare the car for the final day ».
