After 2 days of fighting in Belgium and 16 high-speed stages, Tänak Ott / Järveoja M. (Hyundai i20 N Rally1) took the lead. They lead by 8.2 seconds ahead of second placed Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott (Toyota GR Yaris Rally1). Third place goes to the crew Lappi Esapekka / Ferm Janne (Toyota GR Yaris Rally1) at +1:09.8.
In reality, the fight for first place tomorrow will be between Ott Tanak and Elfyn Evans.

Ott Tanak and Neuville T. / Wydaeghe M. (Hyundai i20 N Rally1) showed a very strong fight for the leadership position during these two days.

The Belgian lost a certain victory in his home race after an accident leaving the track and landing in the ditch.
It's another run of bad luck for Neuville.
