The 29-year-old who leads the WRC2 championship has had a good day and stayed away from problems.

Tidemand and map reader Patrik Barth had a lead of just over 30 seconds before the day, a lead that grew after the Frenchman Adrien Fourmaux encountered problems and was then forced to break.

Tidemand is chasing the season's third World Cup victory and has a comfortable lead of just over a minute with four distances left to run tomorrow.

- Another day where Pontus shows one of his main strengths, to deliver good times under pressure, and stay away from problems.

It is only a technical error that can stop Pontus from taking his third victory of the year tomorrow, says Kruse.

Tidemand himself definitely does not take out any victory in advance.



- We are not sure yet.

That it can turn quickly, we have seen from the competitors this weekend so much can happen in the 40 kilometers that are left.

Our only plan is to keep the management under control, not take any risks and try to reach goals in the best way, says Pontus before the end.

Great management for Kristensson

Just like yesterday, Tom Kristensson and Joakim Sjöberg have an iron grip on the management of JWRC, Junior WC.

Kristensson took The duo took a distance victory during the day and was otherwise second fastest on the other five distances.


Kristensson's lead is now up for almost nine minutes.

Ogier and Neuville in a tight fight

Spaniard Dani Sordo continues to lead the WRC class 27, 4 seconds ahead of Sébastien Ogier.


The Frenchman has Thierry Neuville notched in the heel, only 1.5 seconds behind.

- Sordo looks to take this, the fight between Ogier and Neuville can, however, affect the outcome of the rally for the Spaniard.

For the question is… Will team manager Adamo give team orders and move down Sordo to give an advantage to Neuville in the drivers' championship or does he protect the brand's WC more and go fully into it, says Jonas Kruse.
