Jan Kopecký strengthened his lead in the overall standings by 11.6 seconds ahead of Jon Armstrong. Third place, 21.4 seconds behind, is held by Andrea Mabellini, who once again showed his speed and increased his lead over fourth-placed Simon Wagner during the three special stages. Local driver Erik Cais set the fastest time on the Pindula special stage and briefly returned to fifth place overall. However, due to a puncture on the final Kateřinice stage, he fell behind Filip Mareš once again. Listen how the five fastest drivers assessed the first section.
