Juho Hänninen has claimed his second stage victory on Sata Rallye Açores. The Intercontinental Rally Challenge leader was 2.5s faster than Kris Meeke over the rerun of the 7.90-kilometre Batalha Golfe stage to move into third place overall ahead of Andreas Mikkelsen.
Bruno Magalhães continues to lead outright despite being momentarily distracted by spectators trying to slow him down on the stage, which the Portuguese driver said had cost him valuable seconds.
Overall positions after SS7:
1) Bruno Magalhães 49m12.6s
2) Jan Kopecký +9.7s
3) Juho Hänninen +15.1s
4) Andreas Mikkelsen +18.3s
5) Kris Meeke +42.8s
6) Bernardo Sousa +1m12.5s
