Sordo up to third !

Best time for Dani Sordo on SS8 Peterberg 1 has the Mini up to third overall.

A brilliant run by Sordo on the wet 9.37km stage was enough for him to move past both Jari-Matti Latvala and Thierry Neuville and into a possible podium result. The Spaniard said he even had more speed but didn’t want to put a wheel wrong. Sordo now leads Neuville by 0.8s heading to the monster Panzerplatte run, while Latvala continues to struggle and is three seconds further back. Meanwhile, rally leader, Sébastien Loeb now has a 41.6s lead from Petter Solberg.
