Sordo finishes stage 17 with the 5th best time, Meeke the 7th. Meeke still classified 5th overall, now 45sec back of 4th H Solberg. SS17: Loeb can’t stop flying Latvala (wrc.com)

If you've been keeping up you know that Loeb's retirement means the next guy in Meeke's sights (H. Solberg) is now 3rd! He's 21.3sec back from a podium position. :fingerscrossed: SS20: Solberg vows to fight for podium (wrc.com)
Holy crap this is a nail-biter for MINI fans! Sordo came 3rd (he's up to 22nd place overall) and Meeke 4th on this stage. Kris is 1.8sec off the podium with only the Power Stage to go!!! SS22: Ogier fastest as Meeke closes on third (wrc.com)
Yup, but the Power Stage was too short for Meeke to take another 1.8sec from Solberg. He spun and lost some time and will finish 7.2sec back in 4th. He needed 1.8sec and I'm guessing since he knew he only beat Solberg by 1.3sec the first time they ran this stage earlier today he figured he needed to push extra hard...a little too hard. Still, an absolutely FANTASTIC run!
