The Frenchman set the best time on SS4 at Barchetta Laporta, completing the 23,24 km special in 15:32:8. “ It went well but the stage was difficult and very slippery », Comments the new leader.

He thus takes the lead in the ranking on Thierry Neuville, who complained about the settings of his 207 S2000 ? Bryan (Bouffier) was very fast. We don?t have the right set-up, the car is too high », Regrets the Belgian pilot.

Jan Kopecky (Skoda) took advantage of Guy Wilks' retirement to take 3rd place in the standings. But the Czech is 19??6 behind the Frenchman. “ I still don't feel confident in the car », Explains the Skoda driver.

The Bastiais Pierre Campana (Peugeot ) secures a 6th time allowing him to move up to 6th position in the ranking, after the abandonment of Guy Wilks. “ The feeling is difficult to get because the set-up is not perfect », Comments the Bastiais, who is 12??5 behind Freddy Loix (Skoda), 5th.
