And Ott Tänak goes even faster in 5’24″6! He temporarily takes control of the rally.
Tanak: “Kalle and Thierry are going to sweep the road a lot, so we have to take the advantage for the moment. It's not comfortable in the car, but it's the only way we can drive right now. »
Elfyn Evans is already on the attack this morning and takes the best time in 5’28”6, 2”3 ahead of Rovanperä.
Ahead of the first intermediate, Thierry Neuville finally fails 2″3 behind the Finn.
Neuville: “My driving was good, but as soon as the road becomes flatter I no longer have grip. I'm slipping and we just don't have traction. We lost everything towards the end. »
First reference time for Kalle Rovanperä on this 11,75 kilometer special: 5’30″9.
Rovanperä: “There was a little more sweep than I expected. A lot of sliding, it's not easy, but I did my best. »
Thierry Neuville has just started on SS2. As usual, 3 minutes separate the starts of each driver.
The championship leader only wants one thing this weekend: victory at home, after a failed 2021 edition.
