Special Stage: Les Garrigues 1 (8,60 km)
Weather conditions: 16ºC.
Road conditions: Dry
Additional data:
First stage win of Sébastien Ogier (Citroën), with a three-tenths advantage over Sébastien Loeb (Citroën), who finished two tenths ahead of Dani Sordo, which leaves the French driver in the lead for the first time and the Spaniard in the second place of the overall classification. The dominance of the Citroen team in this stage was complete, as the fourth position went to Petter Solberg, 2,2 adrift the stage winner. The first Ford, driven by Mikko Hirvonen, was fifth, 3 second behind.
The result of the stage leaves a very positive outcome for Citroën, who reinforces its one-two with a very interesting battle between Loeb and Sordo. Ogier's recovery, trying to catch Petter Solberg, is producing another exciting fight. Only Hirvonen's Ford was able to break the hegemony of the Citroens on the tarmac of the RallyRACC.
