Ogier and Neuville stun

Ogier snatched the lead from Evans on Saturday's opener thanks to a 17.8s stage win. Neuville then stunned everyone going over 40s quicker than the leading Toyotas who seemed bemused to where their pace went on the snowy stage.

Mikkelsen builds lead

Mikkelsen continues to control WRC 2 and maintains his seventh position overall. Camilli caught Fourmaux in SS10 who was driving with a puncture for most of the stage. It now brings Camilli within touching distance of the M-Sport driver.

Mishaps and moments

It was a horrid morning for Tanak who started the day in third overall. The Estonian spun early on Saturday's first stage before hitting a rock and puncturing his Hyundai on the next corner. Carrying only one spare another puncture on the next stage cost him over eight minutes.
