Černý in control for first win ERC Junior Under 28

Czech federation-backed Jan Černý took his maiden FIA ERC Junior Under 28 victory with Nikolay Gryazin beating newcomer Stéphane Consani into second place on the final morning of Rally di Roma Capitale.

While Peugeot Rally Academy driver Pepe López retired from both legs with technical issues, team-mate José Suárez was inspired with a succession of fastest stage times when he restarted on Sunday after crashing out on Saturday's opener.

"This is great and this is why we are here," said Černý afterwards. "Big thanks to ACCR Czech Team because without them I can't be here. I am so happy to have won because this season has not been the best from my side. Marijan Griebel did a great job winning the championship but I am really happy to have won here Thanks to all my team, they did a great job."
