Andreas Mikkelsen completed day two of Rally Australia with a slender 2 second advantage over teammate, Sebastien Ogier.

The Volkswagen driver started the afternoon loop with a 13.6 second advantage over Hayden Paddon with Volkswagen teammate Sebastien Ogier another three seconds adrift.

However, Mikkelsen suffered a bent clutch pedal that was touching the brake and dropped nine seconds to Ogier whose pace took him to second place heading into the final day of the rally.
