Ryan has it easy in Mondello
He was best of the 100 plus entry and finished 30.8 seconds ahead of the Ford Fiesta R5 of US based Monaghan driver Pauric Duffy, who managed to just fend off a late challenge from Stephen McCann (Mitsubishi), a second further adrift in third.
Ryan was double driving Eddie Power’s Corolla WRC and, on the first run over the Kildare course, was almost 4.7 seconds better than the Escort of Terence Taggart, with Peugeot Sport Academy driver Craig Breen campaigning the Escort of James Coleman — a further 4.3 seconds behind in third.
