Dani Sordo got another step closer to second place on Stage 14, when another fastest time enabled him to trim Petter Solberg’s advantage to 10.8 seconds.
Sordo was 1.2sec quicker than the Norwegian through the short La Serra d’Almos, to set up a thrilling fight over the two stages which remain today.
Rally leader Sebastien Loeb completed the stage in the second-fastest time, to return to midday service with a comfortable rally lead of 44.6sec.
Eleventh placed Sebastien Ogier completed the stage with his car sporting right-hand front suspension damage. Ogier and his co-driver stopped shortly after the finish control to make emergency repairs to a failed damper top mount.
