Esapekka Lappi still loses time on Rovanperä: 1″9 behind on this SS15. The gap for 2nd place is now only 1″5!

15h

5″3 lost for Elfyn Evans, who was dropped by Rovanperä in the general: the gap is now 10 seconds between the two teammates at Toyota!

15h

New best time for Rovanperä: 9'27″9! That's 13 seconds faster than Loubet!

 

Rovanperä: “The ruts are quite rough (…). I wasn't anything special. It's tricky to be honest – we changed the car a lot. »

15h

Takamoto Katsuta lost a little time at the end of the special. The Japanese, ahead in the last intermediate, finally achieves the exact same time as Loubet. But he regained some time on Neuville overall.

15h

Thierry Neuville is slower than Loubet by 9 tenths on this 15th special.

 

For advice: “There's a lot of ruts in there and it's pretty destroyed in the last section. I didn't feel well at all, but we are here. It's easy to have a puncture or damage – we just drove cleanly. »

14h

And it was immediately beaten by Pierre-Louis Loubet, who finished the special in 9'40″9. 

14h

Gus Greensmith improves the best time with a 9'41″4, 4″2 faster than Fourmaux.

 

Greensmith: “It was the best 9'41″4 of my life! I don't know what it is, but there is something special about this step. It's something ! »

He was not beaten by Jari Huttunen who failed just 3 tenths behind the Frenchman.

Adrien Fourmaux achieves a first mark in 9'45″6.

Please note that it was raining this morning while now the sun dominates the surroundings of Jyväskylä. Times should therefore be faster.
