At the end of Saturday afternoon, Thierry Neuville remains on the top of the overall classification with Sebastien Ogier and Elfyn Evans following him.

In addition to that, he continued his attack by setting the fastest time in SS13 resulting in stealing Neuville's lead and moving ahead for 0,8 seconds as their gap was at 2,2 seconds at the end of SS12.

Elfyn Evans lost one more place and is now at the top three as he was slower than his frontrunners.

Ott Tanak is still just one place far from the podium positions while he faced a problem with the engine topic on the final stage of the day.

Αdrien Fourmaux retains the fifth place and was being happy with his driving today.

Andreas Mikkelsen follows the Frenchman for over one and a half minute and said at the end of Stage 14 that he lost the hybrid on the last split of SS14.

Takamoto Katsuta climbed to the sixth place overall after Munster's crash.

Nikolay Gryazin, Pepe Lopez and Yohan Rossel complete the top ten.
