Elfyn Evans leads Rally Sweden into the final day with a 13.3s advantage over Takamoto Katsuta. After starting Saturday 2.8s behind, Evans flipped the script with a strong morning loop, while Katsuta struggled for grip and fell 16.1s back. Evans maintained momentum, clocking the fastest time in stage 13, but Katsuta rallied in the afternoon, cutting the gap to 13.3s. "This morning was pretty good but this afternoon was mixed," Evans said. Sami Pajari, in third, closed in on Katsuta, finishing 12.1s behind after winning stages 12 and 14. Oliver Solberg holds fourth, 33s back from Pajari. Despite struggling with pace, Hyundai’s Thierry Neuville wins the final Umea Sprint stage but remains in seventh, 2m10s off the lead. "We had a good day in the car honestly," Neuville stated. The battle intensifies as Sunday promises high-stakes action.
