Ott Tanak maintained his healthy Rally Chile lead on Sunday morning as the M-Sport driver closed in on a second World Rally Championship victory of the season.\u00a0 \u00a0
Sunday began with a fast yet technical pass through stage 13 held in overcast conditions.
Keen to overhaul team-mate Suninen to claim second overall, the Belgian took the stage win by 4.8s from his Hyundai stablemate to reduce the gap to 9.1s. Evans’ hopes of stealing third were dealt a blow as he couldn’t match Neuville’s speed and dropped five seconds. Title rival Rovanpera, celebrating his 23rd birthday, remained in fifth overall after clocking the fifth-fastest stage time.
