WRC Sweden: Rovanpera sets the pace on championship return
The two-time world champion kicked off his part-time 2024 WRC campaign with a strong performance on the Umea Sprint snow stage, outpacing Toyota team-mate Takamoto Katsuta by 1.4s. Rovanpera praised his performance, noting the tricky icy conditions that made finding grip challenging. Toyota dominated the super special stage with a 1-2-3 finish, led by Rovanpera, followed by Evans and Tanak tied for fourth with M-Sport’s Fourmaux. Neuville, struggling with traction in his i20 N, finished sixth, while Lappi admitted to lacking grip in seventh place. The rally will continue on Friday with crews facing seven stages totaling 107.90km.
