Weather: sunny 17-28 celsius

■ Neuville takes final-stage thriller from Ogier to win and move further ahead in the championship.

■ Lappi cruises through Sunday, missing his running mate while doing enough to stay ahead of fourth-placed Paddon. By the Finn’s own admission, he does enjoy the seaside view at the end of the powerstage.

■ There’s more holding of position for Ostberg and Breen as the Citroens head home an unremarkable fifth and sixth.

■ Latvala will recover to take seventh place, while WRC2 winner Jan Kopecky’s overall result is boosted by one place after Tanak elects to take a penalty to drop a point, putting his team-mate Lappi ahead of him on the road next time out in Finland.
