Thank you for following this morning of the Greece rally with us. We meet at 15:26 p.m. for the 11th special of the Acropolis Rally.

The classification of the special:
The general classification after SS10:
12h
11’05″2: Rovanperä got everyone in agreement! What a demonstration from the Finn. He regains 6″5 on Ogier and 18″3 on Tänak. At midday, he is the undisputed leader of this Greek rally.
12h
Ogier will make up time at Tänak! He loses 11″8 over 18 kilometers. So exceptional special for the Frenchman or missed by the Estonian?
12h
Ogier was on the attack once again: 11’11″7. He took first place with more than 5 seconds ahead of Neuville.
“I hesitated a lot in this special. But the pace is there and we will follow our plans.”
Will this be enough to regain the general's time? Answer in 2 passages!
12h
Dani Sordo achieved another great special with the second time, 4″9 behind Thierry Neuville.
12h
11’27″4, 3rd provisional time for Adrien Fourmaux (+10″). “The grip changed often, there were hot moments on the brakes. The pace remains good and I’m having fun.”
12:31
Evans finished behind Neuville in 11’18″0 (+0″6), following a trajectory that was too far outside in one of the last right turns. A tight turn which poses a lot of problems for the drivers. The first 4 all went wide.
“I didn’t do the best stage. I didn’t take enough risks to do a good SS10.”

12h
Despite an error, Thierry Neuville clocked 11’17″4 and improved Loubet’s mark by 25″8.
“I had no lines, I couldn’t know where the drivers in front had gone.”
12h
Adrien Fourmaux takes his turn at the start.
12h
First reference established by Loubet in 11’43″2. “The special is tricky. The ending is very slippery, it’s easy to make a mistake.”

12h
Loubet's mistake who slipped a little too much in a left turn. The Frenchman didn't hit anything but lost a few precious seconds.
