Despite a time of 5'19"2 to 18"2 from Neuville, Breen secured an 8th career podium, the 2nd of the season after Monte-Carlo. “It was a very good weekend. »

Like Loubet, Sordo also did not attack in this Power Stage finishing 20 seconds behind Neuville with a time of 5'21. The Spaniard will score a 2nd podium in 2 rallies this year after the one obtained in Portugal a fortnight ago

13h

Loubet did not attack, probably preferring not to endanger his 4th place. 5’21″2 to 20″2 from Neuville for Corsica all smiles after the finish

12h

Rovanperä unhappy with his time of 5’03”3 at the finish line. The Finn gesticulated in the cockpit, no doubt disappointed by his last pass where he finished 2″3 behind Neuville. “The most important thing was to collect points for the championship,” recognizes the man who should finish 5th overall

12h

5’10″1 for Katsuta who ranks in 4th provisional position, 9″1 behind Neuville. “I am very happy to be at the finish (…) I am sure that we will be able to improve for the future” underlines the Japanese.

Evans comes between Neuville and Lappi. The Welshman completed his last pass of the weekend in 5’04″1 to 3″1, taking provisional 1st place in this Power Stage.
