I’m obviously relieved from that side but it is much more positive start overall this year than last year.”Co-driver Martin dedicated the victory to Breen, whom he navigated for from 2014-2018, a period that included the pair’s first WRC podium in Finland in 2016.
“100% this is for him. He has been with us, with me watching over us all this weekend. I can’t put it into words how special it is. I think it will take a few days, weeks and months for it all to soak in.”felt Evans and Martin were the rightful pair to win this event given the recent tragic events that has left the rally world numb.
