Tänak at the head of the Otepää Talveralli, Neuville dauphin

Afin de préparer l’Arctic Rally (26-28 février), les pilotes Hyundai Ott Tänak et Thierry Neuville traveled to Otepää Talveralli in Estonia this weekend to get their bearings on the snowy roads.

Logically favorites for this meeting counting for the Estonian championship, the two men dominate the debates. In the lead at the end of the first morning loop this Saturday, Ott Tänak did it again during the second.

After four stages in the Otepää Talveralli, the Estonian is at the top of the general classification. Thierry Neuville follows him but is pushed back to 21” behind his teammate in the World Rally Championship.

Engaged in a Ford Fiesta R1 from the OT Racing team, the Estonian Georg Gross completes the Top 3 for the moment. However, he is almost a minute behind the lead in the race (57" behind) at the end of the two first loops of the day.
