Tanak has reclaimed the lead of Rally Sweden from WRC rival Breen after an afternoon headlined by tyre failures.

The second pass of the morning stages featured gravel rising up to the road surface and deep ruts to add to the challenge for the drivers.

Neuville and Lappi both completed the stage quicker than Breen. The upturn in pace for Neuville took him ahead of Evans to fifth in the overall standings as the latter dropped 19.4s after two run-ins with the snowbanks. The first occurred at the start of the stage and resulted in a spin, but the Welshman was able to recover to reach the stage finish.

Heading toward the final corner of the stage Lappi suffered a front right tyre delamination, which appeared to fire him off the road and into a snowbank, where he was stranded for seven minutes. A group of spectators eventually managed to free the i20 N, but the spin dropped Lappi from third to 12th overall.

The M-Sport driver managed to coax the Ford Puma to the stage end but ended up 0.8s slower than the benchmark posted by Neuville.
