iRally: Breen to compete in Finland: "hardest decision of my life"
Craig Breen says opting to compete in Finland next month has been the hardest decision he has ever taken.
Breen returns to competition in the SWRC in Finland after the crash in Sicily in the IRC Targa Florio that took the life of his friend and co-driver Gareth Roberts.
He'll be partnered by fellow-Irishman Paul Nagle, who won the 2009 IRC championship with Kris Meeke.
Breen says competing without Gareth will be emotionally very hard:
"This has been the hardest decision of my life. I will never fully come to terms with Gareth's death."
"It's only with the support of my own family and Gareth's family that I'm now ready to take the next step."
" I will never forget Gareth, we were firstly a driver/co driver partnership but most of all we were best friends."
..
“Getting back behind the wheel again without the little man will be emotionally very hard but I know that Gareth would want me to continue. From our first event together we were winners and now I want to continue on that road with the same ambition."
