Kajetanowicz was third fastest on the stage, only 7.4 seconds slower than Jan Kopecký, but fears a problem with the exhaust on his Ford Fiesta R5 is limiting his power. "We have a big problem with power," he said. "Something was wrong at the junction, on the crest. I thought it was over, but thankfully we are here."

The good news for Kajetanowicz is that nearest competitor Tomáš Kostka also complained of a lack of power from his ŠKODA, and was unsure of the cause. He had been just 0.4s behind coming into the stage, but dropped 1.7s relative to the Pole. He has fallen 0.1s behind Bryan Bouffier, who climbs to fourth.

There were 2.9s separating the top two Kopecký and Alexey Lukyanuk on the stage, increasing the gap between them at the top of the leaderboard to 6.4s.
