Rovanpera marca el paso
Kalle Rovanpera ha comenzado en Suecia al frente, ya que el finlandés ha marcado el mejor tiempo en el ‘shakedown’ del Rally de Suecia. El finlandés superó por tres décimas a Ott Tanak en el rápido tramo de Klabböle, al norte del país, de 7,59 km. No lo hizo en la primera pasada, en la que abría pista y dejó al Toyota a 1,5 segundos del estonio de Hyundai. En la tercera última pasada Rovanpera pudo con el empuje de Tanak y Thierry Neuville (a 0,8), evitando el doblete de Hyundai. El belga, mejor de los Hyundai en Montecarlo, abría la lista de incidentes de la mañana, al que siguieron Craig Breen con el Ford Puma y Takamoto Katsuta, quien necesitó de la grúa para recuperar el Toyota, lo que paralizó la acción momentáneamente. A pesar del incidente, el japonés acabó cuarto del día, con el Toyota a 1,2 segundos.
