Sebastien Loeb has repeated his Leon Street Stage victory of yesterday by going fastest through the short asphalt course close to the permanent service park in Leon.

Loeb, whose time was five-tenths of a second faster than he managed on the stage on Friday, grows his overall advantage to 19.7s to Citroen team-mate Sebastien Ogier as a result. Ogier, in an identical Citroen DS3 WRC, was second quickest.

Mikko Hirvonen was the fastest Ford Fiesta RS WRC driver through the stage, one-tenth of a second quicker than team-mate Jari-Matti Latvala.

Crews now head into service where their teams have 30 minutes to carry out running repairs and make any necessary set-up changes for the afternoon loop of stages, which get underway with the repeat of the Ibarrilla stage at 13:57hrs local time.
