A good points haul for Citroën
Team Citroën
Rally Poland
The very last stage of WRC newcomer Rally Poland – which was an immediate hit – saw the consistent run of Dani Sordo and Marc Marti rewarded with second place. Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Elena's concluded their fight-back by finishing seventh overall, while Citroën has succeeded in extending its lead at the top of the provisional World Rally Championship standings.
The final day of the 2009 Rally Poland was significantly shorter than Friday's and Saturday's legs and featured two visits to two stages – Milki and Tros, located either side of Lake Niegocin – plus one last attempt to the Mikołajki super-special.
Despite overnight rain, the conditions were dry for the morning's first test (SS14, Milki) which Dani Sordo completed 25 seconds down on the leaders: "I got my braking wrong for a hairpin because the board I had chosen as a marker had disappeared! We went straight on and that cost us a bit of time. Although the incident didn't really change much for us, it did show how vital it is to stay focused all the way to the flag if we want to finish on the podium."
