Italian examination next on the cards for Breen
The pair’s dismissal from the French team has dominated the WRC scene since the last round, in Portugal, where they crashed heavily. This weekend, Craig Breen/Scott Martin and Mads Ostberg/Torstein Eriksen will, according to team principal, Pierre Budar, “keep moving forward and get among the frontrunners.”
It’s debatable if Breen is now under more pressure, since Meeke’s departure, but the Waterford man says the event is a huge challenge. “This is one of the WRC rallies where I have the least experience, but, fortunately, it hasn’t changed much since last year and so I have most of the pace notes. It’s not necessarily my favourite event.”
