This is the end of this SS9. Next special at 12:08 p.m.

Tänak sets the best time in 13'48″9. He takes another 1″8 overall on Ogier. The Estonian will now wait for Rovanperä's time.

He remained, as usual, very reserved: “It’s a great special”.

Sébastien Ogier attacked in this special! The Frenchman improves Evans' mark by 8″8 with a time of 13'50″9.

“We continue to do the work. We are focusing on ourselves to score good points for the championship.”

Dani Sordo 2nd, 2″6 behind Evans. The Spaniard looks a little disappointed after this special in 14'01″9.

“I'm not happy, it was difficult to get the car on the right line.”

Fourmaux 3rd in 14’11″7. The Frenchman failed 12″4 behind Evans in 14’11″7.

Neuville: “I just want to try to catch up with WRC 2 cars to get into the points.”

At the finish, Greensmith was 14 seconds behind Evans. What a shame for the Briton, without his mistake, he could have achieved at least provisional 2nd place. “I braked too hard in a hairpin on the left but fortunately I only lost time.”

Best time for Evans in 13'59″3. The first under the 14 minute mark.

Ogier has just left. Will the Frenchman take back time from his rivals?

Provisional best time for Neuville in 14'07″3, he is more than 40 seconds ahead of Loubet.

After 3 intermediates, Evans has a lead of 7″5 over Neuville and more than 20″ over Loubet.

Elfyn Evans only wore hard tyres, the Briton is on the attack in this special.

Elfyn Evans takes off in turn while Loubet has passed the halfway point.

Who will be able to worry Rovanperä? The Finn is on a breakneck pace this morning. 

Even more time gained by @KalleRovanpera in SS8 Gravia, where he's fastest by 7.5s! 🥇💪
