Thus, the Estonian Rovanperäs broke the suite of three straight victories in the World Cup series.

However, Rovanperä added to the summary because the runner-up Thierry Neuville only got points from the final power stay after yesterday's crash.

- It felt crap.

The most important thing was that we got more points than Thierry.

But it was a tough rally and I had to fight like that, especially with the steering, says Rovanperä in SVT's broadcast.

Before the last stretch, the 21st, on the dusty gravel roads, full of stones, Tänak led by almost a minute to good on the second, the Irishman Craig Breen.

- The rally has been a disappointment but we do not give up and we gave what we could and hope that it is enough, Neuville said when he finished.

The Belgian won the final leg and got five power stage points. 

The Swedish talent Oliver Solberg shares a third car with Dani Sordo in Hyundai and the Spaniard took the chance and finished third when Solberg had to stand over.

Neuville and Tänak drive the first cars for the stable.

This was the fifth part of the 13th competition. The next competition, the Safari rally, will take place in Kenya during the midsummer weekend.
