Portugal, SS9 – Rovanperä wide awake

The first special of this stage from Saturday to Rally du Portugal a profité à Kalle Rovanperä (Toyota). Le Finlandais a distancé Esapekka Lappi (Hyundai) de 12 secondes et possède désormais 24 secondes d’avances au général ! “I just got up thinking I was going to compete in some great stages today”, explained the 2022 world champion. It seems so simple…

In the chasing group, Lappi overtakes his teammate by a handful of tenths Thierry Neuville (Hyundai). The positions are otherwise unchanged. In WRC2, Yohan Rossel (Citroën) lost around twenty seconds to Gus Greensmith (Skoda) and reported a vague problem with his car.

The next special, Amarante 1, 37,24 km, is scheduled for 10:05 a.m.
