Nursing his Fiesta back to service, the M-Sport Poland mechanics worked their magic and the New Zealander was back on the stages in third place overall. That was until the final stage of the day, when a broken driveshaft stopped him in his tracks – falling to fourth overall. As all around him fell foul of the conditions, Enrico Oldrati reaped the rewards. Contesting only the fourth rally of his entire career this weekend, the young Italian’s determination and willingness to learn has yielded a highly impressive result – third overall at the end of the day!After an amazing job by the @MSportLtd boys fixing the car after our rollover we got up to 3rd overall...but portugal bites again!

TOP-THREE DRIVER QUOTES Dennis Rådström (1st) said: “I think we have done a clever job so far this rally. We are here with no problems while many other cars are still in the forest. It has been a good day for sure, and we now we just need to bring it home through the final stages.” Callum Devine (2nd) said: “I’m glad to be here in second place at the end of the day. Just to throw a spanner in the works, we had a puncture on the last stage, but almost everyone has been going through their own difficulties today. If we can get it to the end in this position, I will be very happy.” Enrico Oldrati (3rd) said: “I’m happy to be in podium position. We know there are still some difficult stages to come tomorrow, but for now I am really happy with this result.” After Day 2: 1. Dennis Rådström / Johan Johansson 3:48:22.6 2.
