    Apparently, Ken Block is "one to watch" in Spain, according to WRC.com. Here are the opening sentences of the article:

    SET THE CONTROLS TO GNARLY. KEN BLOCK, THE MOST STOKED DRIVER IN THE WRC....etc...etc...

    Here is the rest, if you dare: http://www.wrc.com/en/wrc/news/octob...2--12-12-.html

    Wow. Just...wow. Words fail me.

    In fairness, his quotes in there are perfectly reasonable.

    For sure, but he's hardly "one to watch".

    I don't see why not, might as well watch him now whilst you have the chance to. If that column is only for potential winners then 'one to watch' would be Ogier or Latvala before every rally. Alternatively, watch Hirvonen in one of his last two WRC events

    a little quiz from wrc backruners...

    who will be faster on stages? 1) Protasov 2)Block
    who will finish a rally higher? 1) Protasov 2)Block

    I think 2) and 1)

    Where does it say Latvala is not allowed to win? I think Latvala and Ogier may not allow Mikkelsen to win... With manu title secured of course VW can let all of their drivers to fight for the event victories.

    Look at standings. JML doesn't have too much chances too win a title by not winning a rally. If Mikkelsen is allowed by VW to win a rally it's mean that JML not win (simple) = not winning a title = Ogier two times champion. If Mikkelsen push a bit harder at France... we probably could see JML in a ditch.

    2N.O.T - don't watch a rally, come 17 November and find out who champion
