Loeb takes tiny lead into day two

Sebastien Loeb will lead Rally Argentina into Saturday's stages by just 0.1 seconds over his Citroen team-mate Mikko Hirvonen. Although Loeb had rapidly surged back from fourth to first on the afternoon loop, he was a second slower than his Finnish stablemate on the Cosquin/Villa Allende stage that closed leg one, bringing the gap between them down to just a tenth. Loeb admitted at the end of the stage that he had lost confidence in the final miles.
