Day two: 85.06 miles; 6 stages Weather:

- 10

sunny 12-23°C A more cautious approach from Ogier is still enough for the leader to add 11.1s to his advantage at the front of the field. Tanak – like the other Toyota drivers – has found a set-up which works for the Yaris and he wastes no time moving up two places (one of which is coming courtesy of Meeke going off the road on the final stage of the day). Tanak’s team-mate Lappi moves up to fourth, but third-placed Neuville admits he’s pretty powerless to stop the Toyota man’s charge towards the bottom step of the podium. Lappi is the quickest driver through the second day, courtesy of two fastest times (one of which he shared with Tanak). Latvala crashes on the first stage after lunch, having finally found something to smile about with the set-up. Sordo and Evans stay out of trouble, but remain just a handful of seconds apart on the leaderboar­d.

End of day two:

Deserves huge credit for coming here and firing one of those cars down those roads, but ultimately he was never at the races even before an engine problem ruled him out of running on the second day.
