Intro:

Sebastien Ogier loses the lead as he and others get stuck in the snow at the Rally Sweden.

Script:

The snowy track in Sweden is tough, even for the world champion...

Sebastien Ogier led coming into stage nine of the Rally Sweden but that moment cost him 40 seconds, others would take advantage.

Jari-Matti Latvala was less than three seconds behind coming into this so was well placed until he got stuck in a ditch.... for eight-and-a-half minutes.

They weren't the only ones to struggle Welshman Elfyn Evans, hit a snowbank on stage eight, it was clearly a long two minutes lost.

One of those to gain from the misfortune of others was Mads Ostburg, he hit a snowbank too but it didn't cost him too much time.

Thierry Neuville won stage nine and is second overall. out in front though is Andreas Mikkelsen, consistancy was the key for him, he holds a 19.1 second lead.
