Solberg drops out of lead fight

Petter Solberg has lost his chance of fighting for Rally Mexico victory after losing seven minutes on SS6. The Norwergian independent Citroen driver was running third behind factory Citroen duo Sebastien Loeb and Sebastien Ogier after lunchtime service, and was therefore well-placed to gain ground tomorrow when he would have enjoyed better stage conditions than the two Frenchman once they were first and second on the road. But Solberg's DS3 suddenly lost power in the final kilometres of the Alfaro stage, limping to the end at almost walking pace and dropping 6m42s to the leaders - leaving him 7m00s adrift overall
