Dani Sordo edged ahead of third placed Jari-Matti Latvala on the repeated La Mussara stage and also took a bite out of the gap to second.

Sordo was just one-tenth slower than stage winner Sebastien Loeb to pull 5.4sec ahead of Latvala who dropped to fourth. The Spaniard now lies 13.9sec behind fellow C4 WRC driver Petter Solberg in second place.

Mikko Hirvonen collected a 30-second penalty for arriving at the stage start three minutes late. The Finn was delayed while he re-connected a turbo pipe that had come off on the previous test, costing him around four minutes. He completed Stage 11 in the sixth fastest time - just 2.1 seconds slower than his team-mate Latvala.
