First time in the season that is the predator Sébastien Loeb in action and has done since then in the most opportune time. The pace shown by the French during the afternoon in Mexico has been very strong away his two main threats, Petter Solberg and Sebastien Ogier enough to not be a problem tomorrow.

However, the number one Citroën must contend with the fact of opening track, although in his favor plays that only subtract for the final four stages of Rally and two of them are super special. Knowing that Loeb has left after eating at all. A clean section after the first pass of the morning, has done the rest and allowed it to increase the pace in what has been an example of the coolness of six-time World Rally champion.

I like this special and once again I was okay. The car is perfect, so I tried to go the limit. It will be difficult to escape the first morning, so I’m doing everything I can. Still do not know what the plan for tonight, I’ll do everything I can for the afternoon and then decide, but if I acted like it should be enough for tomorrow.

For its part the other two pilots of the French brand’s remaining race have fought the fight for second place. Ford also has two of his students fighting for fourth place in the overall standings although both continue to experience problems in their cars. So much so that Malcolm Wilson took the decision to use the car set Henning Solberg to see if things improve.

The fight between Solberg and Ogier has continued during the following sections, taking some advantage of Norwegian, which has allowed Loeb to pull further and take the lead almost to fifty seconds. In front there were only a leg and the last two super special of the day, often not report much change unless Latvala is involved.

These last few miles of competition of the day have enabled Sébastien Loeb to stretch over the rope and take their lead to 55.5 seconds.

was a perfect day. There are no mistakes, I was flat out all the time, trying to increase my advantage. Now we have more than 50 seconds to be perfect, but we must stay on the road and avoid mistakes. That’s the plan.

In the battle for second place in the Rally Mexico, Sébastien Ogier seems to have made the perfect play chess. The Junior Team Citroën driver managed to finish 2.7 seconds behind Petter Solberg and therefore am in the last game, will benefit by not having to sweep the road for his rival.

We have decreased the rate at final morning only to be third, because it will be an advantage to be behind Petter on the road. We try to finish second. That’s the plan. It was a good day. Sébastien has been very fast, but it was never my plan to fight him, has always been to fight with Petter.

The late for the Ford team has been better than the morning, especially after making the decision to take the set-up Henning Solberg reference. However, the differences with the Citroens are still very large and are more than 45 seconds behind the French. Besides the cars of the blue oval have not yet managed not even score a scratch. Tomorrow are four stages, but victory seems more than sentenced.
