Reliability issues stayed way from Thierry Neuville but a lack of confidence behind the wheel of a i20 N lacking grip limits the Belgian to a comfortable fourth overall, after benefiting from Esapekka Lappi’s puncture on Saturday which dropped the Finn to seventh. Teammate Craig Breen won the rally’s opening stage on Thursday and was firmly in contention running in fifth on Friday when he misjudged a left-hander. The Irishman ran wide into and hit a hidden concrete post which broke the Pumas front suspension ending his podium hopes.
