Significant facts
In a fully dry special that has not evolved a lot since this morning, the differences are logically quite weak, and Ott Tänak confirms its good dynamic by signing its second scratch. Thanks to this performance, the Estonian takes the advantage for 4th place against Kalle Rovanperä for three seconds.
Only 7th in this special, Adrien Fourmaux is loose from the ground against Elfyn Evans and is back in the provisional third row. In front of them, Sébastien Ogier slightly increases his advance.
On this long special of 27 km, we will remember that the first eight of this special are grouped in just 7S2, a sign of a time with easier conditions for everyone. Author of the 8th time, Sami Pajari thus keeps a good margin on Thierry Neuville for 7th place.

Pilot reactions
| G.Munster (4S) 16:13.6 | Quite dry, the strings no longer bring back earth. The feeling was not very good, because I had overheating on all the tires, maybe more on the back. |
| T.Neuville (4S) 16:22.3 | I felt like it was good. With the feeling I currently have, I can’t do more. It’s the same story from the start, we have a little trouble. |
| Pajari (3s+1ss) | Rather a good special with a good rhythm. I had fun. I had a little heating with the super-tends at the end of the special and it was starting to move a little. |
| J.McerLean (4s) 16:46.2 | The speed at which this thing accelerates on dry road … everything is multiplied by two. It’s quite incredible. We jumped in the deep end, but it’s time to learn to swim. |
| T.KATSUTA (2S+2SS) 16:10.6 | It was good, a little overheating at the end. |
| O., 2s + 2S) 16:07.9 | I had a good pace in fairly constant conditions and a better feeling in the car. The tires started to be tired at the end. |
| K.Rovanperä (2s+2SS) 16:12.5 | To be honest, this time it was really good. With what I have, I have nothing more to give more. There was no mistake, driving and pace were good. |
| A.Fourmaux (3S+1SS) 16:14.3 | I didn’t really manage to find the pace at first. I was too cautious and it was the first time that I rolled up with the tender. |
| E.Evans (3S+1SS) 16:10.6 | I felt pretty good, no problem. Everything is fine. |
| S.Ogier (3S+1SS) | A good special for me. Good conditions, good grip. I tried to keep the tires. You have to be regular. |
