After a perfect sections in the longest stage in the whole WRC championship Latvala fail in the last two sections. In the rest stages there are not changes as Sebastien Loeb continue to lead. The longest SS22 Guanajuatito (54.3km) win for Hirvonen, as the second stage time is for Sebastien Loeb +0.7 seconds only. Petter Solberg was third at +3.9 seconds. Obviously Latvala time in the splits show that he could gain more than 15 seconds to Hirvonen.
The longest ever WRC stage was bad not only for Latvala but Chris Atkinson and Evgeny Novikov are also out of the rally. More news still to come.
