By setting the best time on SS3 Rally de Pologne, Jari-Matti Latvala (Toyota) fait coup double en prenant les commandes de l’épreuve, toujours disputées dans des conditions très humides. Le Finlandais, auteur d’un chrono en 7’33″0, devance de neuf dixièmes la Ford Fiesta d’Ott Tänak and 1″3 Sébastien Ogier (Ford).

Overall, Latvala now leads Sébastien Ogier by 2″1, while Tänak has returned to the level of Thierry Neuville (Hyundai), les deux pilotes étant pointés à 2″4 de Latvala. Esapekka Lappi (Toyota) poursuit son bon début de rallye en pointant au cinquième rang du classement général à 12″6. Dani Sordo place la seconde Hyundai i20 à 19″6 en sixième position devant son équipier Hayden Paddon.

Teemu Suninen (Ford) climbs into seventh position at 29″1 ahead of the third Toyota Yaris of Juho Hänninen, while Stéphane Lefebvre completes the top 10 with the first Citroën C3 at 32″3. Andreas Mikkelsen (Citroën) remains at the gates of the first ten places, 36″ behind Latvala, and 3″7 behind his teammate Lefebvre. Elfyn Evans (Ford) remains 12th just ahead of Mads Ostbeg (Ford).

With a C3 WRC having only three drive wheels left, following transmission problems, Craig Breen conceded more than 2′ in SS3, and is 2'56" behind in the general classification. In WRC-2, Ole Christian Veiby (Skoda Fabia R5) remains leader, but now leads Gus Greensmith (Ford Fiesta R5) by 2″4. Pontus Tidemand (Skoda Fabia R5) is third at 2″7.
