Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Mads Østberg and Torstein Eriksen were not quite as fast on today's stages as they were on the opening leg, but they nonetheless held onto fourth place, whilst #craigbreen and Scott Martin ended the day in tenth overall after unfortunately making a minor mistake.
The weekend's longest leg (133 timed kilometres over ten stages), day two looked like it might provide plenty of drama.
Unfortunately, Citroën Total Abu Dhabi WRT experienced some of this first hand. Second overall this morning, #craigbreen slipped to fifth following the second stage of the day (SS10) after a minor issue with the throttle sticking open, before then getting caught out and damaging the rear left suspension of his C3 #wrc on the next stage. Penalised for arriving late at the start of the next stage, he dropped down to tenth overall. After staying with the #rally leader for long periods during his blistering second run on Welshs Creek Reserve (28.83km), the rally's longest stage, Craig reminded everyone in the afternoon that the pace he showed yesterday was no fluke.
Less comfortable on today's faster stages, #madsostberg vigorously attempted to stave off his rivals' repeated attacks and held onto the overall lead for most of the morning. On the third stage of the day (SS11), however, the Norwegian was unable to hold on any longer. He also showed real tenacity in the afternoon, consistently finishing in the top five. He therefore stayed within striking distance of the podium, although his first pass on the super-special stage (SS17) – contested in the rain whilst his two main rivals completed it in dry conditions – cost him a few vital seconds.
Longer than usual, with some 83.96 kilometres of timed stages to complete, Sunday's leg may still spring a few surprises, especially as the bumpy roads to the north of Coffs Harbour are reputed to be fairly demanding…
