, with eight-time world champion Sebastian Ogier sixth, while Rovanpera dropped outside of the top 10.
"I tried. I had quite an okay stage but in the very narrow sections I have too much information in my pace notes and it was very difficult to keep concentrated. I did what I could,” said Neuville. He wasn’t the only driver to suffer a puncture as Breen, driving the repaired M-Sport Ford Puma after yesterday’s crash, picked up a right rear failure towards the end of the stage.
It was team-mate Ogier who claimed the stage win after pipping Neuville by 0.3s. The effort was enough to leapfrog Rovanpera into sixth overall as the world champion suffered another blow. Rovanpera wasn’t the only driver to suffer drama in the stage as team-mate Katsuta misjudged a junction and ran up a grass bank, which cost the local hero valuable seconds.
