Megaport Racing crew Miroslav Angelov and Edi Sivov (Skoda Fabia R5) broke out with a minute's advance ahead of their rivals Yordan Atanasov and Yanaki Yanakiev (Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX). Having managed to narrow the gap with Angelov to just 7 seconds in the last stage before the service park, Atanasov has passed special stage "Kaculka" 2 on hazard lights. It costs him a minute and four seconds lagging in the stage. The battle for the third place continues with full force - Grigor Grigorov and Petar Sivov lead with only three-tenths of Tihomir Stratiev and Dobrin Borisov.
A strong performance at the longest stage for today made Mustafa Cakal. Together with his co-driver Mehmet Koleoglu, the GP Garage My Team crew finished second in special stage "Katchulka" 2 and remains on fifth place overall.
The sixth place is the Romanian crew Vlad Cosma / Florin Dorca (FIAT Abarth 124), who come into the rhythm with the new machine. The great performance of the Greek pilot Vassilis Karavassilis continues. He is seventh in the standings and is third in the RC 4 class.
Seven crews have retired from the rally so far.
