Championship leader Rovanpera started the day third, 25.5s down on overnight leader Neuville, but returned to the service park with a 2m04.4s rally lead over Hyundai’s Dani Sordo.
Hyundai's Neuville retired from the lead on the afternoon’s first stage, handing the advantage to Ogier. However, the Toyota driver then lost four minutes to a suspension issue on the afternoon’s last test, dropping the Frenchman to fourth overall.
