    Of course Ogier want's it cacelled, worst rally for him.

    These current drivers have the thought that rallying is a flat out sprint in near ideal conditions. Ok, if they loose studs because of som gravel, how is that more dangerous that slicks on ice in Monte? Just drive slower...

    And if they indeed snooth and water the stages and there is constant ice, no problem.

The only stage I still see being cancelled at this point is Torsby 2... Anyway we'll see, tomorrow I'm flying to Sweden, hoping for some special WRC action.
    It is too late to cancel the rally...

    Ogier wants to cancell the rally, because usually we is not so good under umpredictable conditions. For him the unkonwn is a strange thing, and this swedish rally as a lot of unknown forward.
    Three gears are enough!

    It would, but as I and others have pointed out already, the organizers will grade the stages that were recceied today and then put some fresh gravel on top.

    There are no gravel crews here.... But I agree with Your point, this is just rally, not circuit racing...
