MARCUS GRONHOLM FINALLY BREAKS SEBASTIEN LOEB'S RUN OF 5 CONSECUTIVE WINS AND WINS THE ACROPOLIS RALLY FOR THE FIRST TIME. HOWEVER, SEBASTIEN STILL HAS A SUBSTANTIAL LEAD IN THE TITLE RACE BECAUSE THE FRENCHMAN CAME IN 2ND. MIKKO HIRVONEN WAS 3RD AND PETTER SOLBERG'S RUN OF BAD LUCK CONTINUED WHEN HE WAS FACED WITH A CHOICE ON A ROAD SECTION - HIT A ROCK OR HIT AN ONCOMING CAR! HE HAD TO RETIRE BUT REJOINED TO FINISH 7TH.
