Kalle Rovanpera has further reduced Sebastien Ogier’s lead on a dramatic final morning at SafariRallyKenya Here's the WRC latest ⬇️
Rovanpera stated on Saturday that his main focus was securing points for his championship bid rather than thinking about victory.
"For someone playing the championship, it was a nice talk,” said Ogier when referring to Rovanpera’s pace."There are huge rocks everywhere on the road and I had to nearly stop because there was a massive rock in the line. No worries.” In the Hyundai camp there were further woes as the returning Lappi, who retired from third yesterday due to a prop shaft failure, suffered a fourth suspected prop shaft failure of the weekend.

"I just clipped a little bit a tree and I am very surprised to be honest. I didn't expect that,” said Ogier. The final stage of the loop, the first pass of what will be the rally-ending Power Stage, was won by Tanak, who pipped Neuville by 0.6s.
