Newly-crowned world champion Marcus Gronholm crashed out of the Network Q Rally of Great Britain when holding a commanding lead today.
The Finn rolled his Peugeot on stage 10, which he went into with an advantage of 68 seconds over Estonia's Markko Martin.
Gronholm's exit gave England's Richard Burns, his team-mate and the man he deposed to claim the world crown, a glimmer of hope as he is now only 52 seconds off the pace.
