Breen without pressure in this SS19. The Irishman, firmly established in 2nd position, went smoothly given his time of 5'23″1 to 15″2 from Neuville.

Sordo was content to reach the finish since he conceded 15″5 on Neuville with his time of 5’23″4

Loubet also seems to be concentrating on the Power Stage, preferring to be calmer during the previous stages in order not to lose his 4th place. The Corsican crossed the line in 5'27″1 to 19″2 from Neuville

Rovanperä preserves his tires for the Power Stage given his time of 5'28″4, 20″5 behind Neuville. The Finn is not worried since he is assured, barring a turnaround, of 5th place overall
