WRC - Argentina: Ogier has joined Meeke on the stage and now Latvala is on the powerstage as well.
WRC - Argentina: Robert Kubica confirms he will finish sixth, assuming there are no late incidents for those still to come.

WRC - Argentina: Ogier is in. He's quickest! Powerstage points could be crucial...

WRC - Argentina: Latvala finishes! He's third on the powerstage but...
WRC - Argentina: JARI-MATTI LATVALA HAS WON RALLY ARGENTINA!
