After Carlos Sainz, Yazeed Al-Rajhi, the leader after 88 km, is also searching for the right way. This situation has played into the hands of Stéphane Peterhansel and Sébastien Loeb who have made no mistakes and are on the right track. Victory on this special might well have been decided in the very first kilometres…
Carlos Sainz, second after 88 km, has gone off course after 156 km of the special. The Spaniard hesitated before straying more than 2 km from the route and has lost precious time as a result!
