WRC title contender Thierry Neuville assumed the lead at RallyEstonia as a recovering Ott Tanak clean swept Friday morning’s stages. Full report ⬇️
Fired up by yesterday’s disappointment, Tanak produced a stunning drive to win the morning’s first stage , the longest of the rally.
While Neuville wasn’t overly happy with his pace, his effort moved the Belgian into the overall rally lead with a 3.2s margin over road sweeper Rovanpera, who struggled cleaning the gravel the roads. Lappi, however was hampered by a loss of hybrid caused by a heavy landing from one of the many jumps. The Finn took the blame for the problem stating that he “had jumped too much”.Tanak extended his 100% stage winning start by setting the pace on stage three .Photo by: Toyota Racing
Behind, Lappi was unable to reset the hybrid unit on the road section before the stage which left him with a significant pace disadvantage. The Hyundai driver also started the stage later due to a “misunderstanding” and nudged a bale during his run that was 7.7s away from the outright pace.
