Citroen boss Olivier Quensel meanwhile hailed the form of his number one driver: "Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Elena produced another polished performance today, picking up five more stage wins. They didn't make any mistakes and looked after their car and tyres impeccably. That approach has taken them even further clear of their pursuers and they are in an ideal position going into the final day.
"Seb and Daniel have once again demonstrated the competitiveness and ability of the C4 WRC on asphalt, but we can't afford to take our eye off the ball. Tomorrow's leg is very long, with more than 116km of competitive action and some notoriously treacherous stages still to come."
For the record, Citroen #2 driver Dani Sordo was not able to re-start this morning under the SupeRally after his off on day one in SS3.
"The
FIA scrutineers made a thorough inspection of the car yesterday evening in Ajaccio," the team added. "They deemed that a safety-related component situated at its front-left corner had been damaged in the accident and thus did not authorise him to re-join the event today."
