“We made some changes to feel more comfortable,” emphasizes Tänak. Well, they seem to work well.
Good start for Tänak. The Estonian takes the lead of SS5 thanks to a time of 4'30″3, 1 second faster than Neuville
Neuville does not seem to have wasted any time after all. 4'32″5 for Evans at the finish, 1″1 behind the Belgian's time. The latter is very fast on Croatian asphalt
Ogier does not make up time at Neuville despite the latter's error and even lets 6 tenths slip away. The Frenchman finished 4'32
Dauphin of Neuville, Evans sets off in turn. The Welshman has the opportunity to reduce the gap after the leader's small mistake during SS5
4'31″4 for Neuville at the finish
Here is the route of the 5 km long SS6,95
Third in the standings, Ogier starts his time in SS5
The full starting order: Neuville, Ogier, Evans, Tänak, Breen, Katsuta, Greensmith, Fourmaux and Loubet
Small error for Neuville who misses the hairpin but immediately gets back on the road. The Belgian still let a few seconds escape
3, 2, 1… Let’s go for SS5! First to start since the abandonment of Rovanperä, Neuville seeks to widen the gap overall!
Thiery Neuville won 3 of the 4 special stages of the morning. The Hyundai driver is therefore logically in the lead ahead of Toyota representatives Elfyn Evans and Sébastien Ogier. Note the retirement of Kalle Rovanperä from SS1. The Finn made a mistake, ending his race in the ravine.
