The Belgium star Therry Neuville has a puncture during the stage 4 that probably cost him the rally victory and the battle for the champion of 2011. Therry said: “We had a puncture in the beginning and after we restart we had a problem with the battery”.
The Therry problems help to Andreas Mikklesen to back to top again who also suffer during stage 4 by the dust. Jan Kopecky lost time in the dust. Jan said: “There were four or five kilometres when I was completely in the dust, I nearly went off the road”.
