Ott Tänak drives home the point and signs his second consecutive scratch! With an 8″2 lead over Evans in the general standings, the Estonian will be the favorite tomorrow for victory!

See you tomorrow at 8:43 a.m. for the start of SS17! Good evening to you !

The classification of SS16: 

The general classification after SS16: 

Elfyn Evans concedes 1 second on Rovanperä's time. The Welshman is behind the times of Ott Tänak, who was the last to start…

The newcomer on the 3rd step of the podium, Esapekka Lappi, continues to deliver. The Finn crossed the line 11″2 behind Rovanperä, but he could well score a second consecutive podium tomorrow! 

It's the end of an ordeal day for Gus Greensmith, who concludes this 16th special 26 seconds behind the best time. 

Oliver Solberg arrives 7″6 behind the best time and concedes 3″1 to Adrien Fourmaux… The two drivers are separated by 14 seconds at the end of this second day.

Adrien Fourmaux passed the second to get this 4th place: the Frenchman crossed the line 4″5 behind Rovanperä, but is ahead of Oliver Solberg…

Takamoto Katsuta finished his day with a time 6″5 slower than Rovanperä.

Kalle Rovanperä sets a first time in 11’30″0. The Finn will play for points in the Power Stage tomorrow, but has nothing to gain in terms of the general classification.

The reference time this morning on this same special, signed by Thierry Neuville: 11’30″9.

Here is the video replay of Thierry Neuville's crash which cost him the victory:
