GREECE RALLY
Bruno and Hugo Magalhães reached the end of the second of the Greek Rally with a comfortable lead of more than a minute leading the race. On a day when several of the fastest riders could not get away from the pitfalls, the Portuguese duo were up in the standings, and after the problems of Alexey Lukyanuk and Eyvind Brynildsen, they ascended to the first place, gradually increasing the margin against the runners-up, finishing the day with 1: 04.7s of advance on the Hungarians Norbert Herczig and Ramón Ferencz, that they manate a car equal to the Portuguese.As it did yesterday, the rally is very hard, and the way with Bruno and Hugo Magalhães facing the race has shown up to now the right recipe.This morning in PE3, Bruno Magalhães started the day with the third time, only wasting time for Alexey Lukyanuk and Eyvind Brynildsen, retaining a 6.7s lead for fourth-ranked Yuriy Protasov.In PE4, Bruno Magalhães won and supplanted a section that made many victims, passing there for a comfortable lead of 43.3s over Norbert Herczig. Alexey Lukyanuk damaged a transmission and lost a lot of time, more than 19 minutes for Magalhães, giving up on today. Juuso Nordgren, Skoda's official driver, gave up after having two holes in the special. Eyvind Brynildsen and Yuriy Protasov also stuck, and although they have minimized the losses, they were very late.
PE5 scored the second win followed by Bruno Magalhães, who increased his lead to 53.7s against Grzegorz Grzyb: "This is all about survival. I've never seen anything like this in my life. Last year was not so difficult, there are rocks everywhere. It's being good, but sometimes we suffer, "said Magalhães at the end of the stretch.
In the following special, Bruno Magalhães managed to return to second place in the PE7, with Hungarian Norbert Herczig (Škoda Fabia R5) to ascend to the second place of the general, placing to 52.7s of the Portuguese pair.
As for Aloísio Monteiro and André Couceiro, they have survived the hardness of the sections of Greece, and despite some setbacks, are 15th.
For tomorrow, another 81km divided by four sections and the prospects are good for the Portuguese pair to return to the triumphs in the European Rally, and with that to reduce drastically the margin that separates them from the leaders of the competition, Alexey Lukyanuk and Alexey Arnautov.
