General classification at the end of SS5

17h

9'59″6 for Lappi on the line who did well in Finland where he only lost 2″9 in the 5th special

17h

Difficult day for young Fourmaux as well. Like his teammate Greensmith, the Frenchman is unable to face the Toyota and Hyundai. He finished behind his partner with a time of 10'19″5 to Breen 22″8

17h

The stages pass and are similar for Greensmith in Finland. Last provisional time in this SS5 with a time of 10'15"5, 18"8 from the lead. The Fiesta is not in the game

17h

Very nice performance from Breen who smiles before joining the connection. The Irishman leads the stage after setting a time of 9'56″7, 1 second faster than Rovanperä's time. He is also back in the overall standings since he is only 1″5 behind Tänak

17h

Breen could be the surprise of SS5. He is ahead of Rovanperä's time after the 3rd sector

17h

Correct special from Katsuta who only concedes 6″5 on Rovanperä. 10'04″2 for the Japanese on the line

17h

Tänak lets 1″3 slip away in the last sector and sees the opportunity to score a 3rd scratch in a row go up in smoke. He moved into 2nd position behind Rovanperä with a time of 9'59

17h

As expected, Rovanperä took the lead in the special after beating Evans' time by 3″1. 9'57″7 is the new benchmark for SS5

17h

Rovanperä goes very fast! Three seconds ahead of Evans after the 3rd sector. The Finn could overtake the Welshman in the general if this comes to fruition

17h

Neuville tries to hang on to the leading car. He finished 2″7 behind Evans’ mark after covering the special in 10’03″5

17h

Evans does not leave Ogier in the lead for long. The Welshman beat him to 7″4 in this SS5. The time to beat is now 10'00″8

17h

Ogier finishes with his special. At the finish line, the reigning world champion's time was 10'08″2, the benchmark to beat for his comrades

17h

21.37 km are on the program for this SS5 (Sahloinen-Moksi 2), the longest of the day

16h

The start has been given and Ogier is already on the road!

16h

A time penalty of one minute for a late score, Katsuta finally had the sanction withdrawn. The problem appears to have been caused by a sync error

16h

The start of SS5 is scheduled for 16:58 a.m.
