SS5 even closer... Armstrong & Mabellini with the same time !
Also Armstrong's first fastest gravel stage in ERC.

Big shame for Armstrong, two punctures in one stage is very unlucky.
Impressed with Korhonens attitude, very mature driving.
If you have a second puncture on the same stage and do not wait for following car to pass before starting again after the change, is Armstrong the biggest asshole of rallying? Discuss
After the first puncture he did wait, didn't he?
I don't know how it works, but Korhonen's time on SS6 was corrected. He didn't lose much.
It depends on whether Armstrong had been told that Korhonen was there - no point waiting if something had happened to Korhonen earlier in the stage.
At least the times have been corrected now.
Armstrong said last night,
“The conditions were quite rough. The first puncture was in the rough section but then the second one we were stuck in dust and going slowly and I don’t even know what happened there. To get two in the one stage is pretty unlucky. I don’t know what the game plan is now but it is a big shame as everything was going quite well.”
Highlights from day 2. I really like those stages! :)
