    Mikko as Champ leader is 1st on the road during Friday, on the 2nd run through Hafren he unaccountably slows at the approach to a hairpin and as Loeb is shaping to pass Mikko veers into his path putting them both out of the running! It worked in F1, why not WRC
    Kris Meeke got fired -PSG so terrified they quit!

    Loeb is going to take the title and I'll yawn with boredom.
    Are you stuck on spanish timezone or something ?? They're rallying on gravel. Surely Mikko have a slightest chance of winning. Even a tiny one. No?

    I find it amusing folks here think Mikko doesn't have a chance against Sebastien in a rally they both have won.

    Ok, so 69% of forum-goers stand to be disappointed.
    That's down from a high of almost 75%. Good work people!

    I'm trying my best to be pessimistic. In actuality I am just bursting at the seams with excitement. I just don't want Mikko to pull a Duval and careen off the road at the first turn. Just trying to downplay all of the emotion for the time being.

    ok.

    Mikko has already proved to be from another planet than Duval. I wouldn't mind Mikko making off due his pushing too hard at all. My biggest fear is he would take it too easy. This is the time to maximum attack.

    But I feel confident Mikko feels confident in a way he felt in Finland. I truly hope we can celebrate a new world champion after this weekend.

    I think Pentti said it best when he said; Aja kovaa Mikko !!!!

    My heart says Mikko, my head says Seb.

    A.F.F, your absolutely right about them both having won & this being Mikko's favoured surface. My problem is with all of the pressure that will be on him (Mikko) this weekend will he be able to do the job, we know Loeb can. Look at it this way, does a driver that has the pace & mental strength required to win a championship settle for second on a rally that he should quite easily win (Australia).
