Kalle Rovanpera mastered extremely difficult wet conditions to clean sweep Friday morning's stages to lead the World Rally Championship's Central European Rally.
The championship leader survived slippery conditions to win the three asphalt stages to climb from sitting fourth overnight into a 29.2s lead over Toyota team-mate and title rival Elfyn Evans by 29.2s. Evans needs to outscore Rovanpera at this weekend’s inaugural three country rally to take the title fight to the final round in Japan next month. Overnight leader Thierry Neuville struggled on the wet roads which demoted the Hyundai driver to third .
Ogier encountered the first real issue of the day when his GR Yaris suffered damage to his right-front which cost him 41.9s, dropping the Frenchman to 10th overall. 'Unbelievable, unbelievable. What can I say? I can't wait that Michelin is back..,”said an angry Ogier. WRC2 title contender Gus Greensmith and Adrien Fourmaux also suffered tyre issues, while class leader Yohan Rossel crashed into trees seven kilometres into the stage, ending his title hopes.
