Thierry Neuville wins after one of the most remarkable battles in WRC history.
The Belgian claimed his third victory of the season at the Orlen 74th Rally Poland after Ott Tänak crashed out of a slender lead three special stages from the finish. The Hyundai i20 driver cut Sébastien Ogier’s championship lead to 11 points with five rounds remaining.
The four-day rally provided edge-of-the-seat drama throughout in torrential rain, driving winds and thick mud. The lead changed hands 10 times in 23 stages as title chasers Neuville and Tänak traded tenths of a second on blisteringly fast roads.
Neuville began Sunday’s final leg in front, but a stunning drive through the opening speed test promoted his Estonian rival ahead. But in the next stage Tänak slammed his Ford Fiesta into a tree.
He limped to the finish but the damage was too great to continue. Neuville eased through the remaining kilometres to head team-mate Hayden Paddon by 1min 23.9sec, with Ogier a further 56.9sec adrift in third.
