Tanak widened his lead by winning stage eight and nine, with a total advantage of 33.2s over Sebastien Ogier. Fourmaux dropped to third place after a significant time loss from a rock impact that damaged his car.
Elfyn Evans held on to fourth place, with Takamoto Katsuta moving up to fifth ahead of Gregoire Munster. Kalle Rovanpera struggled and dropped to eighth behind Neuville, while Oliver Solberg maintained his lead in WRC2.
M-Sport’s Martins Sesks rejoined after a fuel issue, but Toyota had to retire Sami Pajari’s car due to an unresolved fuel system problem. Josh McErlean managed to continue despite a damaged Puma, while Jourdan Serderidis retired due to a suspected heat-related illness.
