Indeed he did, and it seems like it was quite a major crash.... as you said on the first stage of the day.

The Frenchman’s Citroen C4 WRC left the road eight kilometres from the start on a high speed sixth gear section. The Citroen Total team has confirmed that Loeb and his co-driver Daniel Elena are okay. :ThumbsUp:

Sources on the stage report the car is a long way from the road and is badly damaged. The C4 sustained a heavy impact on Loeb’s side and is missing a wheel.

If he doesnt restart under Super Rally, it will be his first non-finish since Sweden 2008, and only his third since 2006.

Rally leader Mikko Hirvonen could hardly believe the news when he was told at the finish control. “That’s something new,” he said.  :laugh2:
