    Ok, maybe we will learn more later.

    It does seem strange he got two punctures as nobody else reported any.

    But it's kind of irrelevant whether he carried two spares or not, the time loss on this stage alone was probably too great to still go for the win and the title.

    No, it's not irrelevant. With two spares it would have been nice to watch the DeepIceMan-show. When he puts all-in, it's something to watch for.

    He was leading 25,4s after day one just driving without any risks. And after ss 8 he was 47,4s behind Ingram, which is not mission impossible.

    But now, 1min 37,4s is completely different story. I still hope that he will put all in.

    I am sure he could take two spares if he wanted to do so.

    To get one puncture is unfortunate, to get two sounds like carelessness...

    By the way the regulations clearly state that it's forbidden to drive on the road section without having all four tyres on. I don't know in which state the punctured tyres are but for sure there is a risk of disqalification for Huttunen.

    EDIT: Huttunen reached service without problems. Good.

    You don't have done any rallies by yourself if you say so.

    If you have done rallies, you know how easy it's control the situation in these kind of weather conditions like Liepaja has.

    It was a joke version of a famous English quotation...

    And you dont have the full facts. I prefer to wait before making a serious judgement.

    Another disastrous rally for the Peugeot team. Pepe Lopez rolled on SS8 and Jose Suarez says he drives like his grandma just to finish the rally.
