Olivier Gaspard’s analysis: “Thierry Neuville seems unshakeable”

“Maintaining a 29-point lead in the championship at the end of such a delicate Rally of Chile: it’s a real feat that Thierry Neuville accomplished this weekend. Honestly, given the circumstances and the domination of the Toyotas on this terrain , I did not believe that he would maintain such an advantage before tackling the last two meetings on asphalt But that does not mean that the Saint-Vithois will have to go on an all-out attack In Europe. Central, he will have to continue to ride as a world champion, as he has been doing so well since the start of the season Frankly, with what he has again demonstrated here, after his victories in Monte-Carlo and in Greece and after a summer. completely masterfully managed, Thierry seems unshakeable. But be careful, rallying is a mechanical sport where no one is safe from damage. The drivers are on the edge: the slightest error in trajectory can be very costly. expensive In addition, the stock’s pressure will skyrocket in the coming weeks. But this Neuville seems perfectly prepared to us and nothing seems to be able to prevent him from getting closer, each time, a little more, to the title.”
