Only Iván Ares shadows Cohete

Only Iván Ares shadows Cohete

The first day of the Rally Princesa de Asturias-City of Oviedo has been a hand in hand between José Antonio Suárez Cohete and Iván Ares in which, for the moment, the Asturian pilot has won. Both seem to be going out the way they had planned. Ares has taken his main competitor out of the way in both the ERT Iberian and the Spanish Asphalt Rally Championship (CERA), the Madrid-born Pepe López, who in Llanera's TC 4, has been left out in a curve to the left, in which it has ended up crashing into a slope. Cohete, meanwhile, has regained the pulse in a campaign in which it has not been able to contest all the tests. Worse luck has run Chus Puras that in the first special of the day, on his return to the competition, suffered a puncture. He continued in the race but without victory options.
