SS20 standings
Final general classification of the Rally Italy
“The car worked better than in Portugal. We had an excellent day on Friday and then yesterday (Saturday) we managed to take the lead,” relishes the Frenchman
VICTORY FOR OGIER! Despite his 4th time, 5″2 behind Neuville in the Power Stage, the Habs won the Rally Italy for the 4th time in his career!
It passes for Evans! The Welshman retained his 2nd place overall despite his disappointment when passing the puddle. He loses 18″3 on Neuville but not his place
“We are lucky to come away with a podium after all the problems encountered. Better days are ahead,” says Neuville after his last visit
Engine flooded for Evans! Panic at Toyota for 2nd place for the Welshman overall. Luckily, he was able to leave. He should keep it
It's nothing but it improves. Neuville is the new provisional leader of this SS20 with a time of 5'33″4. He finished 3 tenths ahead of Tänak
Katsuta in difficulty in this SS20. The Japanese probably had problems since he finished 32″9 behind Tänak with a time of 6’06″6
“We're going home a little disappointed but that's how it is,” regrets Sordo after the complicated weekend at Hyundai. The Spaniard will have his chance again in Kenya at the end of the month
Sordo does not improve and settles in 3rd place while waiting for the last passages. 5’39″1 for the Spaniard, 5″4 behind Tänak
Tänak wants 5 points and it shows! 5'33″7 who gave everything in the Power Stage to beat Rovanperä's time by 9 tenths. The Estonian now leads the special
“I don’t think I could have done more,” said the young Finn
this time, Rovanperä is on the attack. The Finn put 6″1 on Greensmith and temporarily takes the lead with a time of 5’34″6
The Power Stage will not be for Greensmith. The Englishman finished 6 seconds behind Suninen with a time of 5'46″7
Unsurprisingly Suninen beats Huttunen's mark. 5'40″7 for the Finn in this Power Stage
It's off to the premier category with Suninen!
Best time for Huttunen in 5'58″4, 5″4 ahead of Østberg, and victory in WRC2 for the Finn!
Østberg sets the new reference time for this SS20 in 5'53″8. Only Huttunen is missing in WRC2 and it will be the turn of the big guys to hit the road
Bulacia sets the new benchmark for this Power Stage in 5'55″5. He was 11 seconds faster than Fourmaux
