Citroen privateer Petter Solberg was the fastest driver through Friday’s second stage - the all gravel 14km La Ribera d’Ebre.

The Norwegian, running fourth in today’s start order, completed the stage 1.3sec faster than his closest rival, fellow C4 WRC driver Dani Sordo.

Solberg remained sixth in the overall standings 18.5 seconds adrift of rally leader Sebastien Loeb, who was third quickest through the stage.

Sebastien Ogier had a lucky escape at the end of the test, when he slid wide through the flying finish, demolishing one of the yellow timing boards with his Citroen.
