Thank you for following us this Saturday on our live text. Stay tuned to AUTOhebdo.fr to read the summary of this stage of the Rally Estonia, and see you tomorrow at 6:40 a.m. in joy and good humor for the second stage!
Here is the classification of the special:
And the general ranking:
Tänak: “I mainly attacked this morning to create a gap, while this afternoon the course was much more difficult due to the poor terrain. »
It’s another special stage victory for Kalle Rovanperä! 1″8 ahead of Ott Tänak.
Craig Breen lost an additional 2″ on Ott Tänak in this SS.
Ogier: “We weren't lucky this afternoon. We discovered just before the start of this special that we had a delaminated tire. »
Bad stage for Sébastien Ogier. The Gapençais spends 8″4 on Kalle Rovanperä and only has a 6″4 margin on the rookie overall!
Elfyn Evans loses 4″3 on Kalle Rovanperä and at the same time her 4th place in the general classification!
Sébastien Ogier made a small braking error and then stalled his engine! The Frenchman will feel the breath of Kalle Rovanperä on his back more…
Elfyn Evans must pick up the pace if he wants to keep his 4th place against Kalle Rovanperä, who set the provisional best time!
Indeed, 4″2 ahead for Takamoto Katsuta on the line compared to Esapekka Lappi.
While the Ford Fiestas held their place, that is to say at the level of Pierre-Louis Loubet, Takamoto Katsuta set the best provisional time.
Loubet: “It’s great to finish my first stage in the WRC”, in 9th place.
As expected, Pierre-Louis Loubet scrapes 15″ on Greensmith after his spin.
Greensmith: “I felt good at the start but I carried too much speed on a jump and went off the line. »
Feared, the rain is not here yet. We can barely see a few rare droplets.
A few hectometers after the start, Gus Greensmith pirouetted without hitting the trees, fortunately!
When there's more, there's more ! It's time for the last special stage on Saturday, with the departure of Gus Greensmith at 17:19 p.m.
