Luck of the Irish for Breen ! He could've thrown away the Portuguese Championship win there.

It´s a surprise that Heikkilä is able to fight for the win, because he is driving first time in Portugal. Paddon and Østberg have a huge advantage on the last stage, because that Fafe stage is every year in the WRC event.

Heikkilä´s speed is not a surprise, because Mikko was beating reigning WRC2 Champion Emil Lindholm last year in the Finnish Championship. The battle was very tight during the whole season. Heikkilä was 0,4 s faster than Lindholm on the last event and won the title.

Guys fighting for the win, then there is WRC driver Breen, and then there is rookie Virves with Ford taking 2nd stage win in row. Epic!

Only leg 2, before PS:
1. Breen
2. Paddon +5.6
3. Virves +10.2
4. Heikkilä +20.0
5. Ostberg +23.5

If Heikkilä is going to win the rally (I hope so) but without winning powerstage, he is going to "do Tänak" (from rally sweden) - winning the rally with winning only one stage during the rally.
