Pour son premier rallye cette saison, Dani Sordo a réalisé le meilleur temps du shakedown au Portugal devant ses coéquipiers chez Hyundai, Thierry Neuville et Ott Tänak. Sébastien Ogier est 4e, Adrien Fourmaux 5e.

Disputé sur 4,6 km, dont quelques portions seront reprises en course samedi, le shakedown du rallye du Portugal a abouti à un classement serré parmi les neuf voitures de pointes alignées. C’est finalement un « revenant », Dani Sordo, qui a été le plus rapide en 2’51”2. L’Espagnol de 41 ans est aligné pour la première fois de la saison au volant de la Hyundai i20 N. Il devance d’ailleurs ses deux coéquipiers, Ott Tänak (2’51”7) et Thierry Neuville (2’52”1), dans ce chrono d’essai.

Sébastien Ogier, vainqueur en Croatie, a pris la quatrième place avec sa Toyota (2’52”2), juste devant son compatriote Adrien Fourmaux (2’52”3), toujours troisième du Championnat avec sa Ford Puma de M-Sport.

Les choses très sérieuses débuteront vendredi matin

La matinée n’a pas manqué de péripéties puisque Neuville a percuté un chien lors de son premier passage alors que Kalle Rovanperä, qui dispute son troisième rallye de la saison, a connu un problème d’hybride qui l’a privé d’un peu de roulage. Auteur du meilleur temps du premier passage (2’52”7), il n’a pas amélioré lors de sa deuxième tentative.
