Hanninen leads, Mikkelsen goes off

Juho Hanninen holds a 26.8-second lead over seven-time event winner Freddy Loix in the Ypres Rally after Andreas Mikkelsen went off the road on the opening evening. Skoda driver Hanninen has led the event, round six of the 2012 Intercontinental Rally Challenge, from the outset, steadily edging away from Mikkelsen (Skoda UK) through the opening stages. The gap was up to 11s before Mikkelsen slid into a ditch on stage five, dropping a minute and falling to fifth place
