SS3: Wilks quickest again in Canarias
"That was a good stage"
Guy Wilks has won his second stage of Rally Islas Canarias El Corte Inglés after setting the fastest time through the third Ingenio test in his Peugeot UK 207.
“That was a good stage,” said Wilks. “We’ve stopped the rot because I did not feel so confident after the first stage.”
Out front, Thierry Neuville has trimmed Jan Kopecký’s overall advantage to 0.4s as the battle for Intercontinental Rally Challenge glory heats up. The Team Peugeot Belgium-Luxembourg driver was second fastest through the stage. Juho Hänninen has climbed ahead of Freddy Loix into third overall.
Patches of fog coated parts of the stage and made driving conditions difficult, especially on downhill sections.
Crews are heading back to a regroup and service in Las Palmas.
