Al-Attiyah clinches Cyprus Rally win

Nasser Al-Attiyah clinched an ultimately-comfortable victory in the Cyprus Rally by pulling away from Roger Feghali over the deciding loop. With little left to fight for in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge standings, most of the top teams chose to skip the Cyprus finale, leaving guest drivers like World Rally Championship and Dakar regular Al-Attiyah to take centre stage. Two of his main rivals were out before the rally had barely begun, as pre-event favourite Andreas Mikkelsen's Hankook Ford suffered engine problems before the first full-length stage, and Peugeot's top driver Bryan Bouffier lost 25 minutes when he damaged his suspension on SS2
