Rallying: Auriol conquers Corsica again

Didier Auriol held Carlos Sainz at bay yesterday to win his fifth Tour of Corsica title after a breathtaking finale. Auriol, who started the last day of with his Toyota 33sec ahead of his Spanish rival's Subaru, saw his lead cut to nine seconds after four of the last eight stages. In the fifth section, however, Sainz had problems after breaking the front anti-roll bar. Auriol, who now leads the world championship, finished 44sec ahead of Sainz and took the rally by 56sec.
