Bike spill rules Sordo out of Rally Sweden

New Zealander Hayden Paddon will drive a factory Hyundai in the Rally of Sweden, replacing injured Spaniard Dani Sordo.

Spanish driver Dani Sordo will miss the Rally of Sweden (February 12-15) after breaking two ribs in a fall off a bike, his Hyundai team announced on Thursday.

Sordo, who finished sixth in last month's season-opening Monte-Carlo Rally, is expected to be fit for next month's Rally of Mexico.

New Zealander Hayden Paddon will take Sordo's drive in Sweden alongside regular driver Thierry Neuville.
