Solberg wins a suspenseful race! Solberg won the battle!
Petter lead most of the event but was never able to distance his rivals. As a matter of fact, a slight mistake by the Subaru driver was enough to give the lead back to Gronholm with only a few stages left until the finish. But the Peugeot driver made a mistake as well in the following stage, helping Solberg to move back in the lead. Gronholm probably lost the race in this incident Standings after New Zealand
