Stobart Ford driver Francois Duval was a massive 12 seconds quicker than third placed Chris Atkinson through Sunday’s opening stage, narrowing the gap between them from 20 to 8 seconds. “Yes it was okay, but I’m not pushing too much or taking any risks,” said Duval. “

With a rally lead of more than two minutes, and just three proper Alpine stages remaining, Frenchman Sebastien Loeb continues to lead the rally. He remains on course to break another WRC record later today by becoming the only driver ever to win the event five times.
