The WRC championship leader produced yet another stunning performance, despite starting first on the road in changeable weather conditions, to beat Evans by 1m00.9s on Estonia’s fast gravel roads.
Evans had dominated the majority of Friday’s stages winning five of the eight tests to open up a 19.9s lead only for Rovanpera and co-driver Jonne Halttunen to begin to reel in the Welshman as intermittent rain showers created treacherous conditions.
