The eight-time world champion claimed four of the day’s nine stages, including two of the afternoon tests, to fend off a charging Tanak. Ogier headed to service with a 11.9s lead over Tanak having started the day one second behind Toyota team-mate Kalle Rovanpera, who rolled out of the lead on the morning’s stage 11. Tanak’s strong run was rewarded by 15 provisional championship points - three fewer than Ogier under the new system.
6s back from Ogier from a committed run through the test that caught out Rovanpera and Oliver Solberg in the morning. Ogier admitted that his GR Yaris wasn’t working “super well” in the stage and declared that Stage 16 would offer an opportunity to attack. M-Sport’s Fourmaux, sitting in a comfortable fifth overall, ran Tanak close at the top of the timing screen, reaching the stage end 2.1s slower. The Frenchman was a tenth faster than Neuville, who in turn was 1.6s faster than Sordo.
