Citroen's engine broke down on SS3.

Hence Räikkönen won't see the tarmac parts in Spain this time either. A year ago the rally was over already in the beginning of shakedown.

Räikkönen also retired from his previous rally in France.

Rally Bulgaria: SS3 - Junction overshoot costs Ogier second place

SS3 Batak Lake 2

Citroen Junior Team driver Sebastien Ogier dropped from second to seventh place on the third stage of Rally Bulgaria after missing a junction and getting his C4 WRC stuck for one minute.

The Frenchman misheard a pace note and went straight on a junction 5.1km from the start of the repeated Batak Lake stage. His car collected panel damage to its right-hand front corner but seems unscathed mechanically.

Rally leader Sebastien Loeb extended his unbroken run of stage wins, completing the test 2.7sec ahead of his nearest rival and team-mate Dani Sordo. Peter Solberg was third quickest, with Ford drivers Mikko Hirvonen and Jari Matti Latvala fourth and fifth fastest respectively.
