Roughest Day in the WRC This Year: Non-Stop Drama in Greece

📺 Watch extended highlights in Red Bull TV: Kalle Rovanperä is on course for a remarkable victory at EKO Acropolis Rally Greece after Saturday’s brutal penultimate leg forced fellow challengers Thierry Neuville and Sébastien Ogier into retirement. A furious fight in the morning became a matter of survival this afternoon as heat and punishing rock-strewn roads took a heavy toll in this 10th fixture of the FIA World Rally Championship season. Neuville was clear when he thumped a hole and shattered his Hyundai i20 N’s front-right suspension on the first stage of the afternoon loop. He had trailed championship leader Rovanperä by 36 points coming into this fixture, round 10 of 13. His demise left Ogier in control but the Frenchman, who entered the final Eleftherohori stage ahead of team-mate Rovanperä, swiped a rock which destroyed the rear-left suspension on his Toyota GR Yaris. He retired on the final road section while Rovanperä romped to the top. Leading positions after Saturday: 1. K Rovanperä / J Halttunen FIN Toyota GR Yaris 2h 29m 2.
