Neuville: Acropolis Rally exit has ended WRC title bid
Hyundai driver Thierry Neuville had a strong position to close the gap in the World Rally Championship after starting with a 25.5s advantage on Saturday. However, his rally unraveled when he hit a hole on stage nine, causing terminal damage to his suspension. With a missed opportunity to claim at least 25 points for the win, Neuville accepts that his title hopes for this season are over. The task of reeling in Kalle Rovanpera, the current leader, now appears even more difficult. Hyundai team principal Cyril Abiteboul described Neuville’s retirement as “painful” and the team is still investigating the exact cause of the failure.
