After years of near-misses, Sordo drove flawlessly on Germany's tricky asphalt to claim his first WRC win.


Route

Mosel Vineyards: Tight hairpins with steep drops.

Mix of vineyard hairpins, fast countryside roads, and the bumpy Panzerplatte stage on the Baumholder military area.

Changing weather made tire choice a gamble.
