The Finn Jari-Matti Latvala
(Volkswagen) had an excellent day today to jump to the first
place of the Rally of Mexico, with little more than half a minute of advantage
on the French Sebastien Ogier, world champion.
Latvala won five of the seven stages this Friday and
dropped from first place to Ogier winner of the first two stops
of the circuit (Monte Carlo and Sweden), who yesterday had finished in the
first place and although he reacted today and won the last round,
He was 32.1 seconds behind his teammate.
For the Finn, it was key to gain an advantage in the sections more
lengths of the day with which he got a good separation from Ogier.
The Spaniard Dani Sordo, from Hyundai, went to third place and tomorrow
will face the third date of the contest with a disadvantage of 1: 15.6 of the
pointer.
This Friday the great victim was the Belgian Thierry Neuville,
Hyundai, who had to leave due to a broken suspension of
the front wheel on the left.
Tomorrow nine stages are planned, including three super
specials and on Sunday the rally will conclude with the two finals.
