SS13, Ehikki: Harri struts his stuff
Harri Rovanpera was the king of the 19.07km Ehikki stage, completing it a full 6.8s quicker than Peugeot team mate and rally leader Marcus Gronholm. Colin McRae was his only close rival, the Scot, second fastest, 2.2s adrift for Ford
Third on the stage for Gronholm keeps him well established in the lead as he continues to edge clear of Richard Burns in the Subaru. Burns was fifth quickest over Ehikki. Rovanpera is now just 1.2s away from pushing Subaru's Markko Martin, sixth on the stage 9.4s slower than the Finn, out of third place.
Jani Paasonen is back on the pace following his stage 10 roll, the young Finn was fourth fastest in his factory Ford Focus, with more established Ford stars Francois Delecour and Carlos Sainz seventh and eighth ahead of Toni Gardemeister in the Mitsubishi and Sebastian Lindholm's Peugeot.
Juha Kankkunen is up to speed again, 12th quickest in the Hyundai, but fellow veteran Didier Auriol is out of the rally. The Frenchman's Peugeot stopped on the stage with a suspension problem.
