Toyota’s Kalle Rovanpera completed a stunning sweep of Friday morning stages to lead Safari Rally Kenya, while a puncture hampered World Rally Championship points leader Thierry Neuville.
Two-time world champion Rovanpera, making the second start of a partial WRC campaign, managed to tame an at times ill-handling GR Yaris to open up a 15.5s lead over Hyundai’s Esapekka Lappi. Ott Tanak headed to midday service in third ahead of Toyota pair Takamoto Katsuta and Elfyn Evans , with Neuville sixth after a tyre drama.

The stage was topped by Rovanpera despite the Finn claiming that his car’s set up remained sub-optimal. He was 1.4s faster than Lappi, extending his overall rally lead over his countryman to 3.0s. Tanak was third fastest ahead of Katsuta and Evans, the latter still struggling with the balance of his GR Yaris.
