Finn Latvala wins Acropolis Rally

Finland’s Jari-Matti Latvala won the Acropolis Rally on Sunday following the last of 14 special stages.

Driving a Volkswagen Polo-R, the 28-year-old edged out Spaniard Dani Sordo in a Citroen DS3 and Belgium’s Thierry Neuville, driving a Ford Fiesta.

Latvala finished one minute and 50 seconds in front of Sordo and 2:14.1 ahead of Neuville.

The Finn had led since Saturday morning when Russian Evgeny Novikov suffered a puncture on the fourth special.

It was the sixth event in the 13-race World Rally Championship, led by Frenchman Sebastien Ogier, who finished 10th in Greece due to a mechanical problem on Friday.
