Two stage wins for Petter

A fantastic end of day 2 at Cyprus for Petter and Phil with two stage wins. Petter is now in 4th overall.

– This was unbelievable. It’s not perfect yet, but we are getting there. I have a good feeling.

Sebastien Loeb is still leading the rally with Mikko Hirvonen second. Dani Sordo is third overall, with only 15,9 seconds down to Petter in 4th.

The Cyprus rally finishes Sunday with three long stages. The first stage is 30kms, end it will be a remote service after that. The next stage is 40kms long, and one of the season longest. The final stage is 11kms. So nothing is decided yet, the finish line must be crossed before anything is settled. Another important issue is that at remote service, one can only use spare parts that goes in the rally car, the teams are not allowed to bring anything but tools. First car is on stage at 0918 local time.
