ATHENS, June 13 (Reuters) - Ford driver Mikko Hirvonen retained the overnight lead of the Acropolis Rally of Greece on Saturday while world champion Sebastian Loeb crashed out.

Hirvonen, who trails the Citroen driver by 17 points in the overall standings, led Loeb's French compatriot Sebastien Ogier by one minute and 40 seconds after an incident-free run through the second leg.

Hirvonen's team mate and fellow Finn Jari-Matti Latvala was third after ending the day two minutes and 44 seconds behind in his Focus RS car.

Russia's Evgeny Novikov was fourth in a Citroen.
