Sordo reports, Latvala confirms

Penalized by 30 seconds for his delay at the start of this first day, Dani Sordo is far behind in the general classification at the end of the second special. However, Sordo, driving his Citroën C4, set the fastest time on SS2, beating Latvala by half a second. The Finn, who does not open the road, has the advantage of riding on already swept tracks. He thus occupies the head of the general classification. Jari-Matti Latvala ahead of Mikko Hirvonen (8??8), Sébastien Loeb (11??4) and Petter Solberg (12??6).
