WRC: Rally New Zealand: Leg two summary

Guest 9 April 2005 23:52:45
 Overnight leader Sebastien Loeb (Citroen) extended his advantage with
fastest time on the first two stages. The Frenchman then controlled his
pace before adding a stunning win in the 31.73km Bull test where he was
fastest by almost 17 seconds. He leads by 51.9sec. Marcus Gronholm
(Peugeot) and Petter Solberg (Subaru) enjoyed a thrilling battle for
second. The Finn held a narrow advantage initially before Solberg moved
ahead, only for Gronholm to regain second during the afternoon loop.
They are split by just 6.8sec tonight. Francois Duval (Citroen) could
not match their pace and he is fourth. Chris Atkinson (Subaru) was
unable to hold onto the Gardemeister / Martin battle this afternoon but
has a comfortable advantage over Gigi Galli (Mitsubishi). Galli spun on
stage 13, and both the Italian and team-mate Harri Rovanpera lost time
in the next test when the rubber on their tyres pulled away from the
rim.

The final day is based around the classic west coast stages near Raglan,
160km south of Auckland. After leaving the city at 06.30, drivers will
tackle two loops of two speed tests, covering 87.29km, before returning
to Auckland for the finish ceremony at 15.30. Both loops contain the
famous Whaanga Coast test, which hugs the Tasman Sea coastline and is
rated by many as the best stage in the entire championship.

 Leg Two News

Ford remained firmly in control of Rally New Zealand during today's
rainswept second leg. Marcus GrÆnholm and Timo Rautiainen, who have led
since the opening kilometre yesterday, extended their lead over team-mates
Mikko Hirvonen and Jarmo Lehtinen to 50.3sec with just one day remaining of
this penultimate round of the FIA World Rally Championship. Dani Sordo
(Citroen) steadily pulled away from Manfred Stohl (Peugeot) in their third
place battle this morning as Stohl struggled on tyres that were too hard in
the wet and mud. But on the opening test this afternoon the Austrian
regained the third place he lost late yesterday and pulled clear. Xevi Pons
(Citroen) in fifth was closing on both until he hit a rock and punctured a
tyre on the first afternoon stage, dropping a few seconds. Petter Solberg
(Subaru) maintained sixth despite intercom problems and a broken front
driveshaft this morning. Chris Atkinson (Subaru) was in fine form this
morning, winning two stages. However, the Australian retired on the first
stage this afternoon when he hit a rock and damaged the front left
suspension, sliding off the road at the next corner as a result. He will
not restart tomorrow. Henning Solberg (Peugeot) held seventh until the
Norwegian rolled on the penultimate test and dropped 14 minutes.
Motorcycling's multi-world champion Valentino Rossi (Subaru) lies 13th on
only his second world rally.
