Sébastien Loeb (Citroen DS3) lost about one minute after he suffered a puncture in the very last stage of the second day of Rally Germany.
Before this incident, both Citroen drivers were pulling away in front and fighting alone at the top. The Citroen Sport Team froze the positions with Loeb in front and Ogier in a position where he was told not to put the pressure on his teammate.
But at the end, it is Ogier who led more than one minute ahead of Loeb, who won all the editions of Rally Germany since its arrival in the WRC calendar in 2002.
Behind the Citroen pair, Dani Sordo continued his impressive performance as he stands third at the end of the second day aboard his Mini Countryman. he had a great fight with Mikko Hirvonen’s Ford on Saturday morning.
The Finn stands one minute ahead of Kris Meeke (Mini) and Petter Solberg (Citroen DS3) who both suffered punctures in the afternoon.
Classification at the end of day two:
1. Sébastien Ogier (Citroen DS3) in 2h44’43’’2
2. Sébastien Loeb (Citroen DS3) + 1’11’’3
3. Dani Sordo (Mini Countryman) + 2’10’’2
