Return to calm in Belgium. After a very lively 10th special, with the accident of Craig Breen, no incidents were reported on SS11. Thierry Neuville was the fastest on the 15 kilometer course with a time of 7'21″1. At the same time, the Belgian regained control of the Rally from Ypres to Ott Tänak (4th, +6″2) now 6″1 ahead overall. Elfyn Evans (2nd, +3″2) also lost time at the head of the race and is 15 seconds behind Neuville.

Thanks to the misadventures of his teammates, Adrien fourmaux (6e, +12″2) est remonté à la 5e place du Rallye d’Ypres. Le Français a dépassé à la régulière Oliver Solberg (7e, +12″6) et devance le Suédois pour un petit dixième de seconde au général. Gus Greensmith, avec une M-Sport amochée, va tenter de rejoindre l’assistance après l’ES12. Le Britannique a roulé au ralenti sur cette 11e spéciale, à plus de 3 minutes du meilleur temps.
