WRC Sweden: Elfyn Evans leads as Oliver Solberg drops to P5 after lucky escape

Elfyn Evans claimed the Rally Sweden lead to head a Toyota 1-2-3 as overnight frontrunner Oliver Solberg dropped to fifth following a dramatic Friday morning.

After three snow stages, Evans headed to the midday service with a 14.5s lead over Toyota’s Takamoto Katsuta, with team-mate Sami Pajari in third [+23.3s]. The top five was completed by the returning Esapekka Lappi [+34.9s], who led the Hyundai charge, ahead of Solberg, who recovered from a wild moment to fifth [+36.3s].
