Fourmaux lets a few seconds slip away in this SS8 after having poorly negotiated a turn forcing him to turn around. The Frenchman reached the finish with a time of 10'49, 24″6 behind the Rovanperä mark. “It’s a shame, we made a stupid mistake,” regretted his co-driver Coria on the radio. Like Loubet, the Northerner also has windshield wiper problems

3rd provisional time for Lappi in 10'29″2 to 4″8 from Rovanperä

“P*****,” Loubet shouts on the radio as he crosses the finish line. Still plagued by windshield wiper problems, the Tricolore drove in 10'46" 8, or 22"4 slower than Rovanperä

Evans loses ground on Rovanperä. The Welshman finished 3″5 behind the Finn with a time of 10’27″9. “It was a difficult stage from the start where there was a bit of rain and it was slippery.” He stays 10″9 ahead of his teammate

Katsuta finished his passage with a time of 10'38″6, 14″2 behind Rovanperä. “I'm not very happy but there were a few pitfalls to avoid in different sections”

Tänak doesn't beat Rovanperä's mark either. The Estonian posted a time of 10'31″9, 7″5 slower than that of the Finn

Neuville still unable to fight against the leading group. 10'32″5 for the Belgian who finished at 8″1. Can't wait for the end of the day for him

10'24″4 for Rovanperä who swept the road in this SS8

Despite his incident during SS7 where he hit a rock, Solberg will continue to the finish this Friday

It was all going okay on SS7 then bam – suddenly it wasn't. There was a big rock in one corner and we couldn't avoid it, and the steering broke… it is how it is, we try and fix to survive the final 2 stages today and get back to service 🔧 #RallyEstonia pic.twitter.com/wdBZttrAx9
