First part of the Neuville – Ogier duel with the Belgian in the special. The Hyundai driver is already faster than Tänak on the first part of this Power Stage.
Lappi finished in 4’57″9, 4th provisional time which should not be enough to get bonus points. The Finn can console himself with a good third place, which saves the lackluster weekend for Toyota Gazoo Racing after the setbacks of Tänak and Latvala.
Esapekka Lappi (Toyota) is in the Power Stage. Nothing at stake on a regular basis for the Finn, except for the bonus points.

Hayden Paddon (Hyundai) completes the Power Stage 8″7 behind Tänak and seals his fourth place for his third outing with the i20 Coupe WRC in 2018.
9″2 behind for Mads Ostberg (Citroën) at the end of this Power Stage. The already low hopes of playing for fourth place against Hayden Paddon (Hyundai) now seem to have faded for the Norwegian.
6th provisional time for Craig Breen (Citroën) 6″4 behind Tänak. The Irishman will finish this event in 6th place.
Disappointment for Jari-Matti Latvala (Toyota) in this Power Stage. The Finn can only achieve the 4th provisional time, 4″ behind Tänak, after stalling in a left turn. “I arrived too quickly, and in the deep ruts, I stalled. »

Ott Tänak should finish eighth in this Sardinian round, behind his teammate Jari-Matti Latvala. Big points are flying for the Estonian with a view to the championship.
Thanks to a better finish, Tänak takes his Toyota Yaris to provisional first place in this Power Stage. 4’54″5 for the Estonian, eight tenths ahead of Mikkelsen.
