WRC Greece: Rovanpera claims victory in brutal Acropolis Rally
The winner of the rally was the Toyota driver, who completed all 15 stages without any delays and finished with a comfortable lead of 1m31.7s over his teammate Elfyn Evans. The rally took place on challenging gravel roads in Greece, made even tougher by torrential rain earlier in the week. Despite starting first on the road, the Finnish driver managed to limit his time loss and had a scare when he almost rolled on stage three. On Saturday, he moved into the victory fight after winning four consecutive stages, and eventually took the lead when both Hyundai’s Thierry Neuville and Toyota’s Sebastien Ogier encountered problems. With a sizable lead, he cruised to victory and even won the Power Stage to extend his championship lead over Evans. Evans, who had a mechanical issue on Saturday, fought back to finish second, while Hyundai’s Dani Sordo finished third. M-Sport’s Ott Tanak overcame a penalty to finish fourth, and his teammate Pierre-Louis Loubet retired after the super special stage.
