Sordo dominates debates in Sardinia

In good form from the first stages, Dani Sordo took the lead of this Rally of Sardinia 2020 during the SS4, last of the morning this Friday. Installed at the top of the ranking during the first part of the day, the driver Hyundai had to confirm his good form during the second part of the day. Done.

Expected at the turn, the native of the land of Don Quixote responded. Indeed, Dani Sordo successively set good times, thus signing the best times during the fifth and sixth special stages of the day. Meanwhile, Teemu Suninen, his closest rival in Sardinia, was content with third and fourth places. The good business.

« It feels good. It's only day one though. We must continue this way until the end “, he said modestly in the parc ferme.

Thanks to these two new stage victories (three in total this Friday), the Spaniard increased his lead in this Sardinia Rally. Before starting his Saturday, Dani Sordo created a small cushion of 17"4 and 35"2 in front of Teemu Suninen and Thierry Neuville, his first pursuers. Enough to prevent the competition.

Behind the leading trio, the gaps are widening. Except Sébastien Ogier 36 seconds from the lead, the rest begins to be released. Elfyn Evans is already 51” behind, Gus Greensmith more than a minute and Ott Tänak, only 8th, is at 1’53”7. It should still be noted that the latter had suspension problems on SS1.

This Saturday, six new stages are on the menu with more than 100 kilometers to cover for the drivers. Join us from 7:37 a.m. to follow the second day of the Sardinia Rally, always on AUTOhebdo.
