Freddy Loix will no longer be able to be caught on a regular basis. The Skoda driver has a 1 lead over Bryan Bouffier (Peugeot ), who took second place in the standings after Guy Wilks' puncture in SS10.

The Frenchman is also out of reach of his direct pursuers. The retirement of Pieter Tsjoen (broken radiator on his Peugeot 207 S2000) offers third place to Bernd Casier (Skoda), who is currently fighting with Hans Weijs (Skoda) for the podium. The Belgian has a lead of 6??5 over the Dutchman, but is 1'23"7 behind the Peugeot driver.

The crews will leave service for three new stages, the first of which will be run from 18:27 p.m.
