If Friday was a marathon, Saturday is the sprint through hell. As the morning sun rises over the Great Rift Valley, the leaderboard remains locked in a razor-thin battle at the top, while the Ugandan contingent prepares for their own high-stakes recovery mission.
Toyota’s Oliver Solberg enters today with a fragile 1.0-second lead over the legendary Seebastien Ogier.
With Elfyn Evans also lurking within striking distance, the tactical maneuvering on the long, high-speed straights of Soysambu will be intense.
The “Sleeping Warrior” stage, famous for its volcanic rocks that can shatter a suspension arm in an instant, is expected to be the defining moment of the day.
