Absolutely agreed. Some people don't like Ogier's public persona but that shouldn't blind you to just how much better he is than the rest. The key issue about 'fastest' is that others might manage it...

For once we are in complete agreement (goes to lie down in darkened room!)

So what we have learned from this rally:
1) Reports of Fiesta unreliability were exaggerated
2) There must be more than contractual issues that have stopped Toyota or Citroen offering Mikkelsen a...

I don't - the champ is the champ for a damn good reason. He is so much more the complete package than any of the others. He will have looked after his tyres so well that I'd bet he'll win the PS

Far more likely Neuville will overcook it in pursuit than Ogier will lose a 16 second lead. Any driver with pretensions of being world champion should learn from the way Ogier has approached this...

Unlikely that Seb O will need to win on raw pace this year - all the competition are prone to error because they believe effort makes the difference. Far from being handed to him all of Ogier's...

Not exactly - Malcolm needs Tanak to take points off rivals but wins for Tanak could turn him into a competitor for the title. Anyone who could string 3 in a row together could still bring themselves...

Off camera - Yesssss!!

The Champ won't bust a gut to beat Ott - all through the rally so far he's been driving within himself allowing others to out-psych themselves. Expect him to save enough of the tyres to take the PS...

Meanwhile Ogier gets into a podium place again while his nearest challengers are behind him. He will let Tanak and Sordo go crazy and pick up the pieces! No team orders at all!

Well that's been interesting. I thought JML would make more capital this morning but only a 4 second gap to Ogier and the ruts are now the same for everyone in the afternoon. I expect it to get...

This is panning out nicely for Ogier. Only Latvala has made decisive use of road position - I expect if he doesn't get too excited he can end the morning withabout a 12 second lead on Ogier. Ogier...

Latvala really on fire today!

The English don't give a gnat's crap! He's a man from Dungannon (which is NOT in England). However, he is a Brit and therefore, GO KRIS

Only if others have car trouble - Ogier knows how to win in Portugal - he beat Loeb there twice! Also it would be foolish to discount last year's winner who has an ideal road position!

Well it now looks as though all the crystal balls that saw Mikkelsen in a WRC car (particuarly a VW) for Portugal were defective and should be returned to the manufacturer for re-calibration - as...
