The Rally Sweden winner endured an eventful rally as he recovered to finish ninth after losing 12 minutes to a turbo failure on Friday, while claiming four bonus championship points on the powerstage.
Tanak had started the rally by winning Thursday night's two superspecial stages before drama struck on stage 3. The 2019 world champion, who also faced the disadvantage of starting first on the road, then battled a mysterious issue with his Puma that seemed to hamper his pace.
