Craig Breen was fastest on the 1660 meter long stretch in front of a large audience.

The driver beat the superior World Cup leader Kalle Rovanperä, Finland by 0.1 seconds.

The Toyota driver took his first World Cup victory right here a year ago.

Now he comes to Estonia in search of a seventh (!) Victory.

-It has been a good year and I hope we can get a new good result here, says Rovanperä modestly.

The 21-year-old leads with a crushing 65 points to runner-up Thierry Neuville, Belgium in a Hyundai.

The stablemate, home favorite Ott Tänak, had the fifth fastest after problems with a gear that got stuck in one position.

Oliver Solberg is chasing new self-confidence after the Safari Rally where he finished tenth.

SVT expert Jonas Kruse hopes for "more speed" from Solberg and map reader Elliott Edmondson this weekend.

Tomorrow awaits a tough stage with eight distances.

A total of 24 routes will be run and SVT broadcasts from four of them, Saturday and Sunday.
