Sordo will have to raise his game in future.

Even more impressive from Meeke:

So… just 4 weeks before arriving to Portugal I had an ACL reconstruction surgery… after a small fall doing some flat track moto. Time was tight… but thanks to the guys at @ortema.de who got me sorted with a bespoke brace.. 3D scan of the leg and made to measure carbon/titanium brace allowed me to compete! Still a lot of recovery ahead, but huge thanks to all who helped through this short time to allow me to drive this weekend !

And retired after next stage...

Sesks didn't retire cause that. That moment was consequence of steering problem.
