Rovaniemi (Finland) (AFP)
Ott Tanak won the first two stages of the Arctic Rally on Friday, to end the opening day 16.2 seconds ahead of Hyundai team-mate Craig Breen.
The Estonian had already set the fastest time in the shakedown, and was quickest in the snow in the two tyre-punishing stages run after nightfall.
Irishman Breen was second in the opening stage and third in the second one.
Young Finn Kalle Rovanpera drove his Toyota into a snowbank on the first stage but still finished third and went one better in the closing stage to end the day third 20.4 seconds back.
