Thierry Neuville (Hyundai) s’est montré le plus en verve pour la première spéciale du vendredi au Rally de Pologne. Sur les 6,52 km sur une piste détrempée, le Belge a établi la meilleure performance en 3’22″9 et devance la Toyota Yaris de Jari-Matti Latvala de deux dixièmes. Sébastien Ogier (Ford) completes the top 3, 1″4 behind Neuville.
Ott Tänak (Ford), despite a somewhat missed intersection, sets the fourth time at 1″6, while the gaps are a little greater behind. The drivers who started further down the running order suffered a little more, and Esapekka Lappi hoisted his Toyota Yaris into fifth position, 4″8 ahead of his teammate Juho Hänninen.
Hayden Paddon (Hyundai) and Stéphane Lefebvre (Citroën) achieved the same time in 3'31″2 and finished 7th and 8th ahead of Andreas Mikkelsen (Citroën) and Teemu Suninen (Ford). Guilty of an error at an intersection, Dani Sordo only took 11th place with his Hyundai i20 ahead of Mads Ostberg (Ford) and Elfyn Evans (Ford), leader this morning. Worse for Craig Breen, whose Citroën C3 seems affected by transmission problems. The Irishman lost more than 40″.
In the general classification, Neuville took control of the event with a seven-tenths lead over Latvala and 1″5 over Ogier. Ott Tänak and Esapekka Lappi follow at 2″2 and 5″5, when Hayden Paddon and Stéphane Lefebvre are at 9″. Mikkelsen is 8th at 10″ and precedes Dani Sordo and Teemu Suninen who complete the top 10.
En WRC-2, Ole Christian Veiby (Skoda Fabia R5) sets the best time in 3'44″2 and is 1″7 ahead of Pontus Tidemand (Skoda Fabia R5). Veiby is in control of the event in the category with three tenths ahead of Tidemand.
