Day two: 90.81 miles; 7 stages

Weather: sunshine 18-25 celsius

■ Ogier and Neuville remain out front, comfortably clear of the chasing pack.

■ A thrilling Toyota battle is decided in Lappi’s favour after Latvala suffers an electrical failure on the way back to Alghero on Saturday night.

■ Paddon will start the day with his sights firmly set on Ostberg’s fifth place. He catches and passes the Norwegian’s C3 in Monte Lerno and moves up to fourth following the J-ML’S departure.

■ Firmly in no-man’s land, Breen stays seventh before moving up to sixth when the fire goes out on the Finnish Yaris. On the plus side, Breen finds positives to talk about in the development of the C3 from the wayward motor it was 12 months ago. End of day two: 1 Ogier/ Ingrassia 3h02m16.9s; 2 Neuville/ Gilsoul +3.9s; 3 Lappi/ Ferm +54.2s; 4 Paddon/ Marshall +2m01.8s; 5 Ostberg/ Eriksen +2m03.9s; 6 Breen/ Martin +3m13.6s.
