Citroen bounced back with strong showing, Lappi led most of the distance until Ogier (pictured) went past for victory, whether as per ordered or by sheer speed. They were both fast and able to keep up while others hit various problems.

All three Hyundais lost time with various problems. Sordo punctured on SS2, Neuville went off and lost five minutes and even Mikkelsen (pictured) who eventually finished third lost a minute on rain with worn tyres.

M-Sport again started without injured Evans, this time Suninen (pictured) was partnered by Pontus Tidemand. Suninen was surprisingly fast, clinging to fourth overall for most of the rally but also surefooted. His only misfortune was spin on SS2.

Toyota had prepared well and came with confidence. Yet rough rally treated them roughly as Tanak's car refused to restart on second day while Latvala (pictured) punctured and Meeke was hit by rain. Eventually all three finished but relatively low on order.
