The CoC revised the rules several times based on the second run through the stages, giving Evans a 3-second lead heading into the longest day of the event. Despite Tänak’s strong performance in the afternoon, Sébastien Ogier seemed to be the strongest competitor on day one, winning three stages. If it weren’t for a mishap on SS3 where he ran wide and hit a bank, forcing a wheel change, he would have led the rally by almost 30 seconds. The Friday classification stands as follows: 1. E Evans / S Martin GBR Toyota GR Yaris 58m 3.9s, 2. O Tänak / M Järveoja EST Hyundai i20 N +3s, 3. K Rovanperä / J Halttunen FIN Toyota GR Yaris +10.1s, 4.
