Atkinson ends day 2 3rd in Argentina

Sebastien Loeb continued to lead the Rally of Argentina and Petter Solberg got past Chris Atkinson to move into second.

Atkinson admitted that he has now backed off and was focusing on securing his third podium in 4 starts this season "We've backed right off now," he said. "There's no need to take any risks. Second would be nice, but three podiums in the first four rallies of the year is still better than we would have expected."

He is nearly a minute off Solberg but has a lead of 1 minute 14 over 4th placed Dani Sordo.
