Sardaigne Day 2 (Loeb and Neuville crashes) - 2012 WRC Rally d'Italia

What a day, this is definitely turning into a rally of attrition... Today we have lost Sebastien Loeb and Thierry Neuville, both Citroen drivers. We have also lost both Ford drivers Jari-Matti Latvala and Petter Solberg. All of these drivers should be re-starting tomorrow morning, but the end result is an unexpected overnight podium. Overnight leader is Mikko Hirvonen (Citroen-Michelin), this is not unexpected as he was pushing Loeb and matching his pace. The surprise is that the Ford young-guns of Evgeny Novikov and Ott Tanak go into the overnight 2nd and 3rd overall.
