Rally Sweden 2015: Neuville takes the lead

February 14, 2015 – Hyundai’s Thierry Neuville put on a stellar performance during today’s afternoon loop (SS15-SS18) in Rally Sweden, to snatch the lead from Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen.

Neuville, who was second overall after the morning stages, had to fend off Sebastien Ogier and, at the same time, inch closer to the leader. He has successfully done so by winning two of the four afternoon stages (SS15 and SS18).

Andreas Mikkelsen fell back to second place overall; he’s 1.5 seconds behind Neuville and 8 seconds ahead of his teammate Ogier, while Citroen’s Mads Ostberg held on to fourth place and he’s more than 40 seconds off the leader.
