Rovanpera slashes Ogier's lead with a starring performance amid heavy rain in SafariRallyKenya Satuday afternoon WRC report:
Eight-time world champion Ogier started Saturday with a 22.8s lead and the Toyota driver went on to stamp his authority on the event in the afternoon.
The afternoon began with Ogier seemingly putting a stop to Rovanpera's Saturday morning charge by claiming his sixth stage win in the 29.32km Soysambu test, which was held in much drier conditions compared to the morning pass. But the big story from the stage was the demise of Lappi, who pulled off the stage and into retirement with a prop shaft-related issue. The Finn suffered a similar problem in Wednesday’s shakedown.
"Definitely now, with EP [Lappi] also dropped out, there are such big gaps behind and if nothing happens it's impossible to catch Seb by driving," said Rovanpera."I don't want to take huge risks anymore."
