The end of Day Two sees the leader board completely changed from the one that we all saw at the end of Day One. Juho Hanninen (Skoda), Petter Solberg (Peugeot) and Jan Kopecky (Skoda) were the biggest losers of the day, dropping minutes to the new leader Bryan Bouffier (Peugeot). Snow falling resulted in the conditions becoming slippery and icy in the Ardenne. Francois Delecour (Peugeot) and Bouffier took a gamble on studded tyres, taking a gamble to jump from seventh to the top of the log in one stage.
We will be in for a treat on Day Three!
