Team mechanics then made repairs during the noon service. Toyota were still on course for a podium sweep at the end of the leg despite the crash, with Pajari 46.4 seconds clear of teammate Oliver Solberg and Evans third, one minute and 36.3 seconds off the pace.Hyundai's Adrien Fourmaux was in fourth place, with Toyota's Takamoto Katsuta fifth. A win on Sunday would be the second in a row for Pajari, who took his first career WRC victory in Estonia last month. The rally ends after two more stages.
