Drivers tackled three main stages \u2014 \u015awi\u0119tajno (16.3 km), Olecko (20.0 km), and Stare Juchy (13.6 km) \u2014 each run twice during the day. The final challenge was the fan-favorite super special stage at the Miko\u0142ajki Arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Latvia\u2019s M\u0101rti\u0146\u0161 Sesks and his co-driver Ren\u0101rs Francis, in their \u0160koda Fabia RS Rally2, dominated the day with an incredible performance. They won five out of the seven stages, showing impressive pace and control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldrally.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2-2-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worldrally.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2-2-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.worldrally.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.worldrally.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2-2-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.worldrally.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2-2-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.worldrally.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2-2-2048x1363.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.worldrally.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2-2-446x297.jpg 446w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Korhonen and Viinikka at Rally Poland \/ Photo by TG MotorPhoto <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sesks got off to a fast start, building a 9.1-second lead in the very first stage of the morning. However, a small mistake in Stage 3, where he briefly went off the road, allowed Finland\u2019s Roope Korhonen to cut that gap down to just 1.5 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, Sesks quickly recovered and kept pushing hard throughout the rest of the day. While Korhonen and local star Miko\u0142aj Marczyk put in strong performances to stay in the top three, no one could match Sesks\u2019s speed on Day 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldrally.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/6-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worldrally.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/6-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.worldrally.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.worldrally.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/6-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.worldrally.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/6-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.worldrally.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/6-2048x1363.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.worldrally.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/6-446x297.jpg 446w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Johansson and Gr\u00f6nvall at Rally Poland \/ Photo by TG MotorPhoto<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Top 3 Overall Standings After Day 2:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>M\u0101rti\u0146\u0161 Sesks \/ Ren\u0101rs Francis<\/strong> \u2013 54:50.1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Roope Korhonen \/ Anssi Viinikka<\/strong> \u2013 55:11.5<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Miko\u0142aj Marczyk \/ Szymon Gospodarczyk<\/strong> \u2013 55:24.0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>With Sesks leading the rally by more than 20 seconds, the focus now shifts to the battle for second place going into Day 3.
