Sebastien Loeb won all six stages of the Portugal Rally on Saturday to take a 26.8-second lead into the final day. Loeb, who started the day in third place, still faces five stages on Sunday as he tries to continue his perfect start to the season with a fourth straight win. “I did all I could to increase my lead. The road-cleaning effect was inconsistent, with some stages cleaning more than others, but the most important thing is we have a good lead for tomorrow,” the Frenchman said. “Overall I couldn't have hoped for better.” Ford's Mikko Hirvonen, who led going into Saturday, was less than 10 seconds behind before Loeb increased his lead over the final two stages. Loeb's Citroen teammate Dani Sordo of Spain is third, while Citroen's Petter Solberg and Ford's Matthew Wilson rounded out the top five.
