Reedel algab Kataloonia ralli
Markko Märtin
Reedel hommikul antakse Kataloonia rallil start La Trona 1 kiiruskatsele ning rajale läheb ka Eestimaa poeg Markko Märtin. Punktide eest sõidavad Subarus taas Richard Burns ja Petter Solberg.
Kuigi Subaru bossi David Lapworthi sõnul ei eelista ta Märtinit Solbergile, ega ka vasupidi, on siiski ilmne, et Solbergil on siiani Markko ees teatav eelis, kuna ta sai Rootsi rallil ühe punkti.
Markko oli kolmapäeval treeningutes taas kiirem, kui tema meeskonnakaaslane Solberg. Markko aeg oli 2m 27.0s, mis oli norralase omast 0.9 seknudit parem. Markko edestas ka näiteks neljakordset maailmameistrit Tommi Mäkineni ühe sekundikümnendikuga.
Päeva kiireim oli taas valitsev maailmameister Marcus Grönholm, kelle aeg oli 2m 25.0s ning kes üldarvestuses on hetkel seitsmendal positsioonil.
