Once again we have seen an end of stage affected by strategies already so famous. Two official Citroen pilots have managed to overcome to Petter Solberg and before the last special Ogier exceeded 15 seconds to s teammate Sebastien Loeb, which would go second tomorrow on the runway. However the strategy has returned to help the young Frenchman delay its position and leave tomorrow behind Loeb and with a relative advantage.
Everything has remained as before, with Jari-Matti Latvala recovering quite some time after the problems this morning with the turbo of the Ford Fiesta RS WRC. Evgeny Novikov for his part had to retire from the trial in the special second of the afternoon following the breakage of the strap of the alternator.
However the outrage came in the final stretch of the day. Ogier stated to keep in mind go everywhere to attempt to derive the greatest possible advantage. Despite his words the Gaulish has lost enough time so that it anticipates you Loeb and thus not having to open track tomorrow.
The own Ogier has blamed this loss of time precision to a few problems during the stretch, but the vast majority thinks that this movement has been because of the strategies that fashion have been in the WRC during recent times. For its part Mikko Hirvonen has managed to advance to Petter Solberg and tomorrow will depart third at the four sections and the Power Stage.
