Thierry Neuville loses a little lead overall by conceding 6″3 to Ott Tänak on SS13, but the Belgian still has a 27-second lead before tomorrow's final three special stages.
Neuville: “It was a great day for us. A little difficult this afternoon with some problems with the car, but we survived and we are here now. We got a warning for the battery voltage, but it seems okay. My tires weren't very good on the last stages and I was just trying to drive cleanly to avoid punctures. »
