Aussie Chris Atkinson leads a Subaru 1-2 after the team won three out of four stages during the first morning of the Acropolis Rally in Greece.

Taking advantage of their road positions, Atkinson and Petter Solberg moved ahead of the Ford pair of Mikko Hirvonen and Marcus Gronholm, with the two Citroens of Dani Sordo and Sebastien Loeb fifth and sixth. The reigning world champion is already 18 seconds off the lead.
