Latvala was also in the fight for a podium place and Eventually finished fifth, only 1.7 seconds from fourth. Meeke was sixth after losing several minutes changing flat tyres earlier in the weekend, but he quickly gelled with his new car in his first #WRC start for more than eight months. He came second to Tänak on four stages and then won the finale, claiming the maximum five bonus points.
