For the first time at Rally from the Acropolis, Petter Solberg did not set the best time in the special. The private driver of the DS3 WRC finishes at 1??4 from Sébastien Ogier (Citroën), who completed the 23,6 km of the second passage of Thiva in 16:39??5. “I knew this stage better on the second pass and I was able to attack”, commented the winner of the special.

Jari-Matti Latvala (Ford) stayed on the pace, finishing two seconds behind the scratch. His teammate Mikko Hirvonen is 10??5 and ahead of Sébastien by 2??9 Loeb (Citroën) who suffered a front right puncture. ?I didn?t feel the shock. We were on a good pace, but the DS3 WRC was sliding a lot when braking. »

Petter Solberg continues to increase his lead over Jari-Matti Latvala. The Norwegian now has a 29??2 lead over the Flying Finn. Sébastien Ogier takes third place and is now 13??3 behind the Ford driver. Mikko Hivonen fell to fourth position, five seconds behind the Citroën driver. Sébastien Loeb also lost a place, falling 5?7 behind fourth place.
