Great news, Mikko Markkula is back!

Andreas Mikkelsen just tweeted one bit of very good news. His regular co-driver Mikko Markkula managed a full recovery after the back injury sustained during Rally Finland. That means he will be able to join Andreas for the remaining two events of this year’s season. While Mikko was recovering, the experienced Paul Nagle took over the duties of calling out pace notes and taking care about everything and then some for Mikkelsen. Yeah, all latter had to do was push pedals and spin the steering wheel. Drivers!

Mikko #Markkula is recovered and will be back at my side in the Polo R #WRC in Spain. Thanks to @paulnagle1 for your good work as stand-in!
