While he was seventh in the Rally from Portugal, Kris Meeke went off the road six kilometers from the finish of SS12 in Amarante, the longest special stage of the event at 37,6km. The crew is unharmed, but the C3 WRC of the Northern Irishman is done for this stage.

Thierry Neuville (Hyundai) a frappé un grand coup en signant le scratch. Avec un chrono de 24’56’’8, le Belge a repris plus de 17 secondes à son adversaire direct Elfyn Evans (M-Sport). Dani Sordo (Hyundai) a suivi son coéquipier à une dizaine de secondes en précédant Teemu Suninen (M-Sport) et les Citroën de Mads Ostberg et Craig Breen.
Parmi les pilotes repartis en Rally 2, Jari-Matti Latvala (Toyota) a une nouvelle fois été le plus efficace puisqu’il a été le plus proche de la référence avec moins de sept secondes de retard. Sébastien Ogier (M-Sport) was 11 seconds behind while Andreas Mikkelsen (Hyundai) was 17 seconds behind.
Thierry Neuville finishes the first pass of the second stage now half a minute ahead of Elfyn Evans. The Welshman is threatened by Dani Sordo who returned to five seconds. Teemu Suninen still holds off his compatriot Esapekka Lappi, but the M-Sport driver only has a lead of 4s over the Toyota. Mads Ostberg remains seventh ahead of Craig Breen who takes advantage of Kris Meeke's accident to find himself in seventh position.
