Two to go, and Wood looking to make it three
Steve Wood is closing in fast on a hat trick with over 40 seconds of a cushion over Meirion Evans, with John Dalton making it an all Welsh podium looking very likely in a couple of hours back at rally HQ. Tomas Davies has gone out of the rally on the fourth stage of the day, bumping up everyone behind him. Looking very goo for the local crews, Richard Moore in 5th, Richard Cleary and Leon Galvin in the top 10 and James Bradley up to 14th.
