Boland and Morrissey hold 18th on tricky Monte Carlo stage

The Irish crew of Eamonn Boland/Mickey Joe Morrissey (Subaru) had an untroubled run through the penultimate leg of the Monte Carlo Rally where world champion, Sebastien Loeb (Citroen) seems set for yet another victory.

Boland maintained 18th position in GC with co-driver Morrissey remarking that sudden patchy ice on stage 12 proved difficult.

Loeb still managed to post the best time on yesterday’s opening test. On SS 12, Mads Ostberg punched in his maiden stage victory but Loeb was back at the helm on 14 and will begin today’s final leg with a lead of 1:47.4 over Sebastien Ogier (VW Polo).
