WRC Saudi Arabia: Sesks claims lead, Rovanpera suffers puncture

Martins Sesks delivered an impressive drive to claim the lead at the inaugural Rally Saudi Arabia on Thursday morning, while World Rally Championship title contender Kalle Rovanpera suffered a costly puncture. 

Returning M-Sport-Ford driver Sesks almost completed a clean sweep of stage wins, which was only denied by a small mistake in stage four. The Latvian, who benefited from a cleaner road position, on the all-new rough gravel stages took a 1.3s lead over Hyundai’s Adrien Fourmaux heading into midday service with Toyota’s Sami Pajari, third, 1.7s adrift.
