Despite Latvala's blistering pace early today at the qualifier, Loeb manages to snatch the lead. In the opening stage, the Ford's were a bit slower to the Citroen's. The next stage was a bit better for Petter as he managed a promising pace and climbed to overall 3rd, while Mr.Consistent, Mikko is in 2nd, just 1.1s adrift the rally leader. Thierry Neuville makes up to 4th overall and Mads Ostberg drops to 5th.
It will be interesting to follow tomorrow's action. Until then, watch this beautiful video from Day 1 - opening 2 stages...
