Mitsubishi team leader, Harri Rovanpera ma🐽y have crashed out while trying to hang onto third Sunday in Sardinia, but the Finn - while admitting it was 'disappointing', added that it wa💛s 'just one of those things'.

Speaking following the three-day event, Harri was keen to emphasise that what really matter this weekend, was the pace of the Lancer WRC a🐈nd the fact bot🏅h he and team-mate, Gigi Galli, were able to set some really competitive times.

"We hit a rock [in SS13] and 💛broke one of the front right suspensiꦉon components," he explained.

"We didn't have a spare in the car and tried to fix it using tools and clips, but we only managed♍ to get another three or four kilometres before it broke again.

"Okay, it's disappointing but we agreed we would go for it today and these things can happen; it's better to be fighting for the pod🐲ium position.

"We proved we can push in these conditions and that both cars, with a cﷺlean run, can be very competitive. Hopefully we can carry this through to Cyprus."
