The both Citroen drivers are out of the race. Sebastien Loeb rolled on stage 4 while the teammate Sebastien Ogier crash on stage 6. By this way the current leader is Mikko Hirvonen followed by his teammate Latvala at +5.4 seconds and third is the privateer driver Peter Solberg at +33.8. Evgeny Novikov the younger Russian star is closer to Peter at +44.1 seconds by the current leader while fifth is Henning Solberg. It is big chance for Ford to catch up the French drivers.

The stages are too slippery due too the rain during the rally.

Sebastien Loeb probably will restart tomorrow by super rally.

Rally drivers comments:

Hirvonen: It was so unbelievably slippery and when you brake it is like ice. I went off the road but it was into a field so there was nothing to hit.

Latvala: I had few moments and a couple of times I was hitting the banks to keep on the road. It was extremely difficult, even dangerous in some places.
