Juho Hänninen (Skoda Fabia) continues speeding up along the roads of Valle de Punilla. He was first on special stage 10 "Ascochinga - La Cumbre" and got his eighth partial victory en the 2010 Rally Argentina.
The Finn set a time of 15m.08s.3/10 along the 22,40 kms of the longest stage of the race, and got a difference of six more seconds with his closest rival, Guy Wilks (Skoda Fabia). Wilks just has to settle with keeping his second position in the Overall. The third place went to Kris Meeke, who is struggling with the Peugeot 207 accelerator pedal.
Other highlights of the stage were the electrical problems of Nasser Al-Attiyah's Skoda Fabia, which delayed him in the start of Ascochinga.
The fight for the fifth position is the tightest of Day 2. Federico Villagra (Ford Fiesta) holds his position but Gabriel Pozzo (Subaru Impreza) is getting closer and closer and shortened the gap with a time of 7s.9.
