Only nine drivers managed to complete the 27.42 kilometre stage before the incident - Manfred Stohl quickest, having completed it in 15mins 15.2 seconds. Colin McRae was second, 1.9 seconds adrift, followed by Roman Kresta, Kris Meeke, Mark Higgins, Henning Solberg, Xavier Pons and Antony Warmbold.
Mitsubishi's Gigi Galli also completed the stage, despite going off the road and into a ditch. The Italian was consequently over 7 seconds slower than Stohl.
More to follow soon...
