Vota ArticoloThe first day of Rally Sweden was the scene of a no-holds-barred battle in which every second counted, and it enabled the Citroën Total World Rally Team to clearly state their ambitions for the coming season in the first round. Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Elena are currently lying second overall 6’’2 behind the leader. Dani Sordo and Marc Marti are also in the fight for first place and are in third position 4’’4 behind their team-mates.
The rally began on Thursday evening with the first run through the super special on the Karlstad horse racing course. Dani Sordo had the bit between his teeth and he delighted the Swedish crowd by setting the first scratch time of the 2010 season. After a quick bit of shut-eye the teams quit the headquarters of the Värmland county well before dawn, and headed north to the service park on the Hagfors airport.
The first run through the Likenäs special was the real kick-off of the season. Against all odds, Sébastien Loeb took advantage of his position of first on the road and set the quickest time: “The organisers did a great job and swept the surface after the reconnaissance runs. We were able to make the most of a nice sheet of ice.” The 6-time world champion repeated his performance in SS3 with Dani Sordo in his wake who put on an impressive display of driving on this type of surface.
