LEGEND VATANEN BACKS STRUGGLING BREEN
Ari Vatanen has come out in support of Craig Breen after the Irishman’s Ypres Rally crash meant he hasn’t completed a World championship event distance since Rally Italy in early June.
Vatanen, who became
World champion in 1981 after winning the British crown the previous year, posted this message on Breen’s Facebook page: ‘Craig, head up, look far ahead.
The sun is just behind the clouds”.
Along with the events in Estonia and Finland, Ypres was an event Breen had earmarked as a rally where he could potentially score big points. Instead, he left Belgium without a solitary score.
“For everybody inside the team and the fans it’s not so much fun at the moment, but we’re all trying our best,” said Breen, who was classified 63rd following his restart.
