Rally Sweden's leaderboard had a big shake-up on Friday morning, as M-Sport's Tanak has taken over the lead ahead of Breen. Full report: WRC
Road position proved pivotal in the opening stage of the day thanks to a layer of powdered snow on the road. It favoured the latter runners but it was Breen who starred as he hauled his i20 N to an emotional stage win after his character-building 2022 season.

Rovanpera took the stage win by a second from Lappi with Katsuta third.
Evans' teammate Katsuta added his name to the stage winners board, becoming the third different driver in four stages to post a fastest time. Incredibly, 0.7s separated the top four across the 25.81km Botsmark stage as Katsuta emerged 0.3s faster than Rovanpera, with Tanak two tenths back.
