Tänak continued to manage by finishing 1″6 behind Latvala, setting the same time as Ogier. “I have my job to do, I don’t worry about others. The second passage will be difficult with very slippery roads. »

Neuville ranks 1″3 behind Latvala. The Hyundai driver still occupies 9th position. “We continue to attack. We made a mistake with the medium tires. I was surprised by the lack of grip and I made a mistake, but I'm not going to give up. »

Ogier ranks one second behind Ostberg. The M-Sport driver maintains a lead of just over 7 seconds over Breen. “This 2nd place was the only achievable goal. We must continue to attack to keep it. »
