Vlček will get the honour having finished the opening leg in 10th position, with the top 10 reversed to form the running order for the second leg.

The 42-year-old, competing under his own Svarmetal Motorsport banner, is driving the same Ford Fiesta R5 that Jaroslav Orsák took to fifth place in the Azores in June in its first ever rally.

Orsák is running Vlček out of his own Orsak Rallysport operation - the pair having first worked together a decade ago - and is also fielding the Kimi Racing entries of Tomáš Růžička and Miroslav Jakeš. Vlček recently finished third on Rally Bohemia, a round of the Czech championship, in his first start in the Fiesta R5.

Ninth overnight, last year's ERC2 runner-up Vojtěch Štajf will be second on the road, followed by Pavel Valoušek and Fabian Kreim. Clickhereto view the full start list.
