Zlin ERC: Jan Kopecky cruising, Roman Kresta hits trouble

Jan Kopecky is cruising towards a home victory in the European Rally Championship's Rally Zlin, but Sunday morning dramas have shuffled the podium battle

A puncture for Roman Kresta cost the sometime factory Ford World Rally Championship driver several minutes and third place.

The same problem then struck new third-place man Jaromir Tarabus. Though he lost less time, it brought him within range of Kopecky's works Skoda team-mate Sepp Wiegand.

Tarabus responded on the final stage of the morning loop and brought his advantage over Wiegand back up to 10 seconds with three stages left.
