Kalle Rovanpera’s run to lead RallyEstonia after opening the roads on Friday has come as a “big surprise” to Toyota WRC boss Jari-Matti Latvala. Read more ⬇️
Rovanpera’s surge to the rally lead included two stages wins in the afternoon despite facing the disadvantage of facing the rutted roads first. The 22-year-old’s stage winning performances provided another reminder of Rovanpera’s unique set of skills to Latvala.
“I think he had huge confidence at this time last year and now clearly since Portugal the confidence has been growing again and now the confidence is really high and of course it helps.”Rovanpera also admitted he hadn’t expected to end Friday with lead given his road position. While Rovanpera has seemingly breezed into the rally lead, Latvala believes Saturday’s battle with Neuville won’t be easy.
