World champion Sebastien Loeb, lying second overnight, picked up two of Saturday\'s opening three special stages to take command of the season-closing Rally of Spain. The Citroen ace heads the standings by 18.9sec from Ford\'s Finnish driver Jari-Matti Latvala, with another Ford competitor, Norway\'s Mads Ostberg, who had led Loeb overnight, 47.9s away in third. Ostberg was hampered after a mistake in the eighth stage.
