Juho Hänninen has extended his lead of Sata Rallye Açores to 19.9s over Bruno Magalhães after winning the Grupo Marques superspecial.

Going up against Škoda Motorsport team-mate Jan Kopecký in a head to head battle, the Finn was 1.2s faster than Andreas Mikkelsen, who is nursing his damaged M-Sport Ford Fiesta S2000 following his collision with a cow on stage 14.

Crews are heading back to service in Ponta Delgada before the final three stages of the Intercontinental Rally Challenge qualifier.
