Dani Sordo (Hyundai) a bien tenté de résister, mais Ott Tänak (Toyota) a été intouchable dans le premier passage de la deuxième étape du Rally from Sardinia. The Estonian took the scratch on all three courses, including the two stages of Monti di Ala and Monte Lerno which are the longest stages of the event.

Ott Tänak regained his ten seconds delay at the head of the race to reach mid-stage service with more than 6 seconds ahead of the Spaniard.

Teemu Suninen (M-Sport) évolue désormais au 3e rang avec une bonne avance sur Elfyn Evans (M-Sport) et Andreas Mikkelsen (Hyundai) qui sont en pleine lutte pour la 4e position. Kris Meeke (Toyota) reste 6e avec une bonne avance sur Thierry Neuville (Hyundai) and Esapekka Lappi (Citroën).

Kalle Rovanperä (Skoda) is still leading the WRC 2 Pro by occupying 9th place with around ten seconds ahead of Pierre-Louis Loubet (Skoda), the leader of WRC 2 who is ahead of the Toyota of Juho Hänninen.

Restarted in Rally 2, Sébastien Ogier (Citroën) tried to replicate Hyundai's strategy in Portugal by starting behind so as not to sweep for its championship rivals. The Frenchman, however, broke his right rear suspension and finished the stage at reduced speed.
