Adrien Fourmaux, for his part, was stopped in the middle of the special.

In WRC2, Esapekka Lappi (Volkswagen) set the best time, 0 ahead of Andreas Mikkelsen (Skoda) and remains 7 seconds ahead overall.

The rally ranking:

Here is the classification of the special:

Ott Tanak (Hyundai) ensures. The rally leader loses 5”9 to Elfyn Evans on the line.

Rovanpera: “The pace isn't what it should be, I'm having a lot of difficulty.”

Kalle Rovanpera (Toyota) finished one second behind Evans, and therefore just a tenth ahead of Neuville, who lost time at the end of the special. The battle continues, less than two seconds apart before the Power Stage!

Neuville “a little careful, it was very difficult to find the limit in the fast games.”

Rovanpera is two tenths behind Neuville in the intermediates.

Thierry Neuville (Hyundai) crosses the line 1”1 behind Evans.

The Belgian is on the same time as Elfyn Evans in the intermediates.

Let's move on to the battle for second place between Thierry Neuville and Kalle Rovanpera.  

Breen crosses the line 6”5 behind Evans. The Briton is three seconds behind fourth place overall. The Power stage will be interesting.

Craig Breen (Hyundai) five seconds behind at the intermediates. Be careful, he only has a ten-second lead overall over Elfyn Evans.

Evans lost a lot of time in the second part of the special but took control of the scratch by 3”3.

Solberg is right, Elfyn Evans (Toyota) is much faster in the intermediates.  

Solberg: “I was way too careful at the start, I won’t win this one!”

Solberg takes the best time! 1”4 ahead for the Swede, who had already run this special during the national rally a few weeks ago.

Oliver Solberg (Hyundai) is on the same time as Katsuta. The two drivers are fighting for sixth place overall.
