Thierry Neuville won the Rally of Italy/Sardinia in a Hyundai one-two on Sunday, with the Belgian's first victory of the season lifting him from fifth to second in the world championship.
Neuville beat team mate Esapekka Lappi by 33 seconds after the final day's four stages, with Toyota's championship leader Kalle Rovanpera finishing a distant third and the Finn's team mate Elfyn Evans fourth. Rovanpera leads Neuville by 25 points after six of 13 rounds, with Kenya's Safari Rally next up on June 22-25.
"We came here with the belief that we could fight for victory but the first day was challenging and we lost a bit of time," said Neuville. "It's the first victory for the team this year, it's a one-two, and the first time for our team principal as well. Craig is in our memories as well. We wanted the win in Croatia but we got it now."The win was the 18th of Neuville's career.
