Elfyn Evans takes the lead at Rally Sweden, spearheading a Toyota 1-2-3 as Oliver Solberg tumbles to fifth after a chaotic morning. After three snow stages, Evans boasts a 14.5s advantage over Takamoto Katsuta, with Sami Pajari in third [+23.3s]. Esapekka Lappi sits fourth [+34.9s], leading the Hyundai effort, while Solberg, who started the day with a 3.8s lead, suffers a major setback. A stall early on costs him valuable seconds, and a wild moment sends him into a snowbank, resulting in a front-left puncture and a 31.9s time loss. Despite the struggles, Solberg manages a stage win, briefly lifting him back up to fifth [+36.3s]. Toyota dominates the leaderboard, while Hyundai's drivers face various challenges, with Lappi admitting a lack of grip and confidence issues plaguing Fourmaux and Thierry Neuville.
