Ott Tänak and a dark day

Black Saturday. This day will not remain engraved in the memory ofOtt Tänak. Plutôt en forme, même si en retrait des Toyota, l’Estonien n’a pas vécu le plus beau samedi de sa carrière. Dès la première spéciale, le pilote Hyundai a fini sur trois roues après une crevaison en milieu de chemin.

« Unfortunately, Monte-Carlo once again ends prematurely, he regrets. During the first stage, I hit a stone, or something similar. The rim was damaged which caused a puncture. It's my mistake. A detail that I did not notice during reconnaissance ».

The situation hardly improved during the second outing of the day. New start and new puncture for the 2019 world champion. From the start we suffered from a slow puncture. It was therefore difficult to ride with this rubber. We put the first damaged wheel back on but it didn't hold. We couldn't do anything anymore ».

The following ? A return to the service park and the obligation to withdraw from Monte-Carlo because of the regulations. A new hard blow for Ott Tânak who was unable to finish this same rally last year due to a violent exit from the track.
