    Ford's of Østberg, Suninen and even Evans are ahead of him (and Sordo) so far and so reducing Hyundai points in the Manu battle.
    Suninen and Østberg do not reduce Hyundai's manu points.

    Last stage was better from Neuville i expect him to go for a smal push in the coming stage's still no flat out. But if he can do top 3, top 5 stage time's he could wel be up to 6th maybe even 5th at the end of the day.

    I like the way he handles things here in Finland, hope it will show on sunday this is the way to go!

    Lappi and Suninen both are potential world champions i think.

    Shame Sunninen wont do WRC Germany, such young guys should get the expierence for each event as soon as possible.

    Suninen was slower than Tidemand in both Sweden (1 min behind) and Portugal and much slower than Mikkelsen in both Portugal and Corsica. Just saying.

    I wish him well ,but please no over-hype too early.

    i think Loeb was not always going fast. but selecting the time to attack. in Finland fighting against the finns is too risky. even loeb knew that

    Manu points reward just finishing over a high place by speed. Maybe why Neuville is scared to go for the win here...

    this stage hasn't got big jumps,lets see if make any difference.


    Fri 17:11 - Stage info: SS10
    Lankamaa, 21.68km. Another Rally Finland classic returning after a few years away, Lankamaa is not a jump-fest, but makes up for it in speed. A couple of new hay bale chicanes have been added this year to try and keep the average speeds down. The stage is notable too for a sandy-surface heath section at 8km which is particularly fast and demands accurate lines.

    Loeb had 3 wins in Finland and numerous podiums.
