Rovanperä was fastest on five of today's eight stages and is about to extend his large lead in the championship even further.

- Roughly four miles remain to be driven.

I think Tänak has responded unexpectedly well to Rovanperä's attack.

If Ott can be there from the start tomorrow morning, the Estonian has a great chance of taking a surprising third victory in the competition, says SVT expert Jonas Kruse.

Third is Esapekka Lappi who lost a lot of time after a stone bounced up on the windshield during braking.

Lappi is 35.2 seconds behind Tänak.
