Turnaround on the short SS9 of 2,87 km this morning at Rally from Germany. If Ott Tänak (Ford) set the best time, Thierry Neuville a rencontré des soucis au niveau de la roue arrière-gauche de sa Hyundai i20.
The championship leader said he did not know what happened. Nicolas Gilsoul, co-pilot of Neuville, indicated: « It was just at a slow intersection, a left turn with a rope, and we don't understand what happened.We just felt a little shock on the rear axle. We probably hit something, we don't understand at this time. It looks like something is broken on the suspension. I do not know. We need to analyze first, then we'll learn more. »
In the general classification, Tänak is now ahead of Mikkelsen by 6″3 and Ogier 31″. Neuville is still in fourth place at 38″9, but the Hyundai driver will retire as confirmed by the brand.
