Rally Norway 2007

[pino]

Mikko deserves to win, and I hope he will ;)

[Bruno Portela]

Loeb already started the ss

[Mauri A]

Good morning guys, it's time for the big question: Will there be any team orders?????
Bosse said in Finnish radio interwiew that he thinks the team doesn´t want him to push too hard. His goal for this year is no zero point rallies.

[ProRally]

After being at -22°c last weekend in Hagfors, I just checked the weather in Leon and it is a nice 25°c ... but first Leg 3 in Norway

[GigiGalliNo1]

Ciao Pino :p
Ciao ValentinoGalliNo1 :D How is Perth today ?

Hahaha

Perth is great! No work today but still doin a bit of work on the computer and listening to radio and on forum! How is everyone?!

Vai GiGi

Goooooo........ MIKKO! :p

[ProRally]

I will miss Rally Oz in Perth, had great times there ....

[animrallye]

Malcolm Wilson : "Both Mikko and Marcus did a fantastic job. It's crucial that we bag these points so early in the season both for Ford and in the drivers' championship. Both know what they have to do. I have told them to hold position and not attack each other. They must not make mistakes and the final leg will be far from easy."

[Helstar]

Hi all ... going to see day2 at Eurosport in a couple of minutes, yesterday I overslept :\
Very curious to hear Loeb saying bad words :D

[GigiGalliNo1]

I will miss Rally Oz in Perth, had great times there ....

Loeb over 40 secs faster than Mikko yesterday!

[Bruno Portela]

Loeb at least won an overall position, due to Hanninen's problems

[Bruno Portela]

Galli on stage :D

[Bruno Portela]

To all Gigi fans, please tell him to drive fast, because Speedy Pons is just behind him :) :)

[MHjerpe]

Rabbit ?

[jparker]

T LINNERUD: "The rabbit was to fast"

Who is the rabbit?

[Bruno Portela]

Rabbit ?

Rabbit = Loeb :)

[GigiGalliNo1]

To all Gigi fans, please tell him to drive fast, because Speedy Pons is just behind him :) :)


Should I give him a call or SMS? :D

[Bruno Portela]

Pons faster than Gigi on the first split (For sure Pons must have eaten something special during this weekend)

[MHjerpe]

Rabbit = Loeb :)

ahh the French Rabbit.. ok..

[pino]

To all Gigi fans, please tell him to drive fast, because Speedy Pons is just behind him :) :)

Pons can only pass him if Gigi has another off, Pons has not and never will have Gigi speed :p :

[tribefiend]

Good morning all!

[Bruno Portela]

ahh the French Rabbit.. ok..

Yhat was what T. Linnerud called him,as he noticed that he had lost more than a minute to Loeb

[GigiGalliNo1]

Pons can only pass him if Gigi has another off, Pons has not and never will have Gigi speed :p :

very true Pino! :p

[MHjerpe]

At last Carlsson seems to get some speed..

[tribefiend]

Both Solbergs on stage. Should be a fun battle to watch.

[GigiGalliNo1]

No No No....!! not rabbit!

I'm happy to the FROG not as a top contender!! :D :D :D :p

[Christina]

Typical, when the stages start, it is time for me to go to work. :( Enjoy the rally guys! i will be back for the afternoon stages.

[Brother John]

Petter 10.7 secs slower than Henning on 2nd split.. henning will move upto 3rd after this stage..

[animrallye]

[tribefiend]

And now 16.9 seconds. Petter must have wrong tire?

[MHjerpe]

Wow... even Grönholm And Mikko is driving with yellow googles...

[pino]

It's also in Eurosport

I can only see Eurosport 1

[GigiGalliNo1]

Not so fast Petter! :|

[pino]

Both Ford have slow down...

[Woodeye]

Good morning.

Could someone post a link to splits? It's always impossible to find it somewhere from the thread with 65 pages on it..

[tribefiend]

"We have the same car...same colors...same speed" Gronholm on matching Mikko in the splits. Awesome quote.

[wacked]

MARCUS: same car and same colours so we have the same speed

[tribefiend]

Good morning.

Could someone post a link to splits? It's always impossible to find it somewhere from the thread with 65 pages on it..

http://www.zone.ee/wrcmasters/analyzer.php?rally=3&stage=15&results=1&jwrc=

[WRC1]

Reporter: marcus he had simular split times like mikko?

Bosse: yes, we have the same car, the same colours, sooo



brilliant!

[Mauri A]

Malcolm is using his remote control!

[Woodeye]

http://www.zone.ee/wrcmasters/analyzer.php?rally=3&stage=15&results=1&jwrc=

Thanks! :up:

[ProRally]

And now 16.9 seconds. Petter must have wrong tire?
Only shorter stud tyres left, so will be difficult today...

[M5]

http://www.zone.ee/wrcmasters/analyzer.php?rally=3&stage=15&results=1

[Tomi]

latvala should push, he could catch petter very easy

[GigiGalliNo1]

The French Frog has lost his Legs this weekend!

and I'm going to have dinner now - your time 9am

hahahha

[tribefiend]

Only shorter stud tyres left, so will be difficult today...

Good thing there's a little room behind him to 5th and only 3 stages left.

[WRCfan]

That site is fantastic!!! brilliant to be able to listen to it thousands of Km's away while it is all going on!!!!

[A.F.F.]

Good morning folks :wave:

Is this a great day to be a Finn or what ?? :D

[wacked]

SS16 is started loeb and linnerud are on stage..

[WRCfan]

All hail the mighty Finns on the ice and snow of Norway!!!!!! Impressive drive by the two Ford drivers although we have come to expect these kinds of results from Marcus and Mikko, two very level headed drivers.

[WRCfan]

nice email matt, they have rally cars though!!!!!! you only have warm weather ;)

[ProRally]

Good morning folks :wave:

Is this a great day to be a Finn or what ?? :D
Huomenta A.F.F. yes good to be a Finn, I hope Mikko can pull it of, several years ago he was so happy in Cyprus when he had his first podium, I hope he can have the top step on the podium today.... in cyprus they threw him in the pool and broke his phone, here they will throuw him in the snow :hot:

[White Sauron]

Pity Loeb will still bring one point to the chevrons

[A.F.F.]

My pickems were totally wrong but it doesn't matter a one bit if Mikko finish first :bounce:

[Mauri A]

Good morning folks :wave:

Is this a great day to be a Finn or what ?? :D
Don´t know yet, 4th round is suspended due to thunder, but Mikko is tied 1st!

[White Sauron]

Huomenta A.F.F. yes good to be a Finn, I hope Mikko can pull it of, several years ago he was so happy in Cyprus when he had his first podium, I hope he can have the top step on the podium today.... in cyprus they threw him in the pool and broke his phone, here they will throuw him in the snow :hot:

His first podium was on spanish tarmac in 2005...

[GigiGalliNo1]

nice email matt, they have rally cars though!!!!!! you only have warm weather ;)

Very true, and i'm back now! did i miss anything? stage start :p

[A.F.F.]

Ota Mauri sisujuomaa niin kyllä se sillä :)

[animrallye]

Terve terve A.F.F. ;)

[WRCfan]

Yeah matt Mikko read out a personal message to you while you were away..........pity you missed it.....haha......am i believable? ;)

[pino]

Hi Jani :) why you are late ? :p :

[A.F.F.]

I'm amazed how well you guys animrallye, Frodo, prorally etc. can speak what is about to be the universal language of rallying, finnish :up: ;)

[ProRally]

His first podium was on spanish tarmac in 2005...

In Cyprus it was first time points then or something, after doing so many events they look a like... except the special special events, like Australia 2004

[Woodeye]

My dear fellow forumers. Nothing is over yet. I heard that ms. Fortuna is still in the rally. So let's not celebrate just yet.

We'll have to wait until the fat lady sings. :)

[A.F.F.]

Hi Jani :) why you are late ? :p :

I don't mean to brag but let's say I had marital responsibilities this morning ;)

[edacurf]

+6:59.8 ??????????

[Helstar]

What a disaster the day2 coverage, they didn't show how Loeb got stuck both times ! Maybe the inside cam was not working, who knows.

An amateur footage showed people help Loeb to get back in the road, when he succed many guys were triumphant, I think because they knew he lost a lot of time ^^

Strange what happened to Gigi, he drove between two houses and then it was completly WHITE ... couldn't see where to go ! And got stuck.

[ProRally]

I don't mean to brag but let's say I had marital responsibilities this morning ;)

:hot: Tossi huyva :hot:

[White Sauron]

I'm amazed how well you guys animrallye, Frodo, prorally etc. can speak what is about to be the universal language of rallying, finnish :up: ;)

Ei ilmeisesti yhtaan mitaan.))))

Kiitos

[Brother John]

Good morning folks :wave:

Is this a great day to be a Finn or what ?? :D

Also a great day for me A.F.F. :D Hurja-Juho-The Joker!!!

[GigiGalliNo1]

What a disaster the day2 coverage, they didn't show how Loeb got stuck both times ! Maybe the inside cam was not working, who knows.

Citroen want to keep it top secret maybe?!

Mr. Galli faster then Pons in splits :p :D

[DonJippo]

I don't mean to brag but let's say I had marital responsibilities this morning ;)

Were you washing dishes or hoovering :rolleyes:

[Woodeye]

I don't mean to brag but let's say I had marital responsibilities this morning ;)

So you were send to Siwa to buy some milk?



;)

[edacurf]

Manfred Stohl controlls the times of mr. galli!

[tribefiend]

Solbergs on stage.

[ProRally]

I'm amazed how well you guys animrallye, Frodo, prorally etc. can speak what is about to be the universal language of rallying, finnish :up: ;)
Working with Finnish drivers since 1990, you do tend to pick up some words, not always the best... but some are important to me : iso cola

[Woodeye]

but some are important to me : iso cola

I think that's pronaunciated "Kossu-cola" :)

[pino]

Gigi said on radio : no more risk...I will try to enjoy from now on !

[A.F.F.]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSacqDMkYE8

There you go. A fat lady who just sung. Can we celebrate now? :)

[edacurf]

Gigi said on radio : no more risk...I will try to enjoy from now on !

that means he is still on 7! Manfred on 6! best citroen an best non scandinavian

[ProRally]

I think that's pronaunciated "Kossu-cola" :)

I like BIG coca cola...

[WRCfan]

GG is definately a dark horse on events when no one would ever expect him to be up there. sweden for example...

[ProRally]

Back to Rally Norway, Henning quicker then Petter on splits again, also happy chinese New Year

[edacurf]

Manfred is pus´hing on split 4! +0:09.1 against galli

[A.F.F.]

Is Petter having some kind of problems or is Henning just faster than him ??

[pino]

that means he is still on 7! Manfred on 6! best citroen an best non scandinavian

Yes... at the moment he's ;)

[GigiGalliNo1]

if you guys hear the French Frog on the radio I wrote it in!! ahahha (LOEB

[Helstar]

It's a little bit strange to see so many people faster than Loeb ... very clear proof that the road improves car by car ...

[Woodeye]

Has anyone kept on track how many times J. Hänninen has been in the snowbanks during the weekend? I've lost count at least.

[Bruno Portela]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSacqDMkYE8

There you go. A fat lady who just sung. Can we celebrate now? :)

AFF is everything allright with you???? :o

[ProRally]

I think Henning has the correct tyres for the final Leg 3... anyway good for him

[Catiocha7]

I like BIG coca cola...
Me too
:)

[Snublefot]

What a disaster the day2 coverage, they didn't show how Loeb got stuck both times ! Maybe the inside cam was not working, who knows.

An amateur footage showed people help Loeb to get back in the road, when he succed many guys were triumphant, I think because they knew he lost a lot of time ^^





I think they were happy about beeing able to finally getting him going again.
For most people it will be a thrill to help Sebastien Loeb dig out his car.

[Helstar]

I was joking but at first I admit... I thought that looool

[Helstar]

Gigi lost another 4 sec to Stohl, seems 6th position will be difficult to get :\

[Bruno Portela]

Mikko loosing time!!!!!!!!!!

[White Sauron]

Ai ai ai Mikko.... Don't give up...

[Bruno Portela]

Gigi lost another 4 sec to Stohl, seems 6th position will be difficult to get :\

Maybe he's already happy being in front of Pons!!!!! :)

[Brother John]

Mikko loosing time!!!!!!!!!!

Why would he take som risk? How many KM´s to go?

[Woodeye]

Mikko is now giving Marcus a chance to attack on the last SS.

[Ranger]

His last split just levelled out.. I think he'll make it.

[Bruno Portela]

Why would he take som risk? How many KM´s to go?
46 km

[Mauri A]

Don´t panic, Malcolm´s remote control is working.

[ProRally]

It will be decided on the final stage which is 44 km long....

[Bruno Portela]

Don´t panic, Malcolm´s remote control is working.

That's the problem, if it gets working to much ....... :down: :down:

[A.F.F.]

Did Marcus finish ??

[Bruno Portela]

Problems for Bosse, seems he hasn't finished the stage!!!!!

[ProRally]

Don´t panic, Malcolm´s remote control is working.

:laugh: :hot: :laugh: :hot: :laugh:

[Brother John]

Where is Bosse???????????

[Bruno Portela]

oh oh oh oh

[WRC1]

Gigi lost another 4 sec to Stohl, seems 6th position will be difficult to get :\


as i am a countryman of manfred and ilka, i would wish it would stay like this,

but dont forget, manfred lost 40 sec to gigi on the first run through elverum yesterday...now he has just 14 sec advantage...

so still everything is possible,....also for the solberg brothers and j-m

regards

wrc1

[Ranger]

No last split for Gronholm?

[White Sauron]

voi perkele...

[Bruno Portela]

And the Rally Radio keeps the music playing on and on

[Helstar]

Here he is !

[Tomi]

bosse 15.30.6

[jonkka]

[Bruno Portela]

Bosse finished the stage loosing 3 sec to Hirvonen

[Ranger]

Phew! That was a heartstopper.

[Catiocha7]

A big sigh of relief from me as well...........

Only problem is being at work I can't get Rally Radio as the firewall doesn't let it through :hmph:

[jonkka]

Yes, I can see that. Gotta admit that reading from right to left is quite difficult! Not that I understand any of the text except familiar names. Nice, though.

[Tomi]

norwegian rallyradio works ok, not so bad either

[pucky54]

can somebody post the link of the stage 17 live coverage, please?

[Helstar]

New time for Bosse on SS16!!!??????????
Seems so ... 18 sec split now

[jonkka]

Only problem is being at work I can't get Rally Radio as the firewall doesn't let it through :hmph:

The only thing you lose is terrible music so don't worry.

[Helstar]

Couple of minutes to the live stage, it's also on Eurosport2 guys (i'll stick with the computer and WRC.com as I don't have it :p

[jonkka]

With few stages to go, how has Rally Norway gotten through to you so far? Good, bad, interesting or not, worthy of it's place in calendar?

[Brother John]

Seems so ... 18 sec split now

He was faster then Mikko!!!!

[animrallye]

Live on Eurosport 2 or

i think quite good, only they should work to improve the communcation

[GigiGalliNo1]

8 mins till stage

[GigiGalliNo1]

sorry NOW IS STAGE!!!!

[jonkka]

i think quite good, only they should work to improve the communcation

I agree on that! How frustrated and furious I was on friday. Besides that, one thing that strikes me odd is number of drivers who got stuck in snow banks. By far higher number than in Sweden, what's the explanation? Narrower roads? If so, how come speeds are so high?

[Camelopard]

The only thing you lose is terrible music so don't worry.


:) :) :)

[FabiaFan]

Let's vote the biggest disappointment of the rally - who's for Carlsson???

[Helstar]

8 mins till stage
It has already started dumba$$ :D

[Helstar]

Let's vote the biggest disappointment of the rally -who's for Carlsson???
Loeb worse .... no one expected two times stuck in snowbanks

[Wim_Impreza]

Let's vote the biggest disappointment of the rally - who's for Carlsson???

I am.

[Tomi]

I agree on that! How frustrated and furious I was on friday. Besides that, one thing that strikes me odd is number of drivers who got stuck in snow banks. By far higher number than in Sweden, what's the explanation? Narrower roads? If so, how come speeds are so high?

I think narrower roads and twistier, also 1 time for the drivers, the note is propably not that precise everywhere, yesterday it was heavy snowing also, difficult to see.

[GigiGalliNo1]

It has already started dumba$$ :D


hahahahhahah

smart a$$ :p

[Helstar]

Now I understand why Hanninen always off road, he is crazy :D look at those sideways ... reminds me of early Gigi :)

[FabiaFan]

Loeb worse .... no one expected two times stuck in snowbanks
That's a point - but still...Carlsson... :dead:

[alleskids]

Has Khalifd Al Qassimi never started Rally Norway ? Could Prodrive not get the equipement ready or was Al Qassimi not up with his payment?

[Catiocha7]

Yes, I can see that. Gotta admit that reading from right to left is quite difficult! Not that I understand any of the text except familiar names. Nice, though.
:rolleyes:
Thanks :)

[Helstar]

Mikkelsen stalled on last hairpin. This guy is anyway very promising, only 17 years old ? A future champion for sure.

[GigiGalliNo1]

Jan stalled

Al Qassimi is competing is ME Championship!

[Helstar]

I think that Pons got the Garde setup from day2 forward ... that would explain all ! He matched Loeb time, not bad ...

[Helstar]

Wooo big moment for Latvala ... he's crazy too :D

[Halvis]

Hi guys, Henning passed Petter, as expected - Petter had just short studded tires left.

Seems like the victory is decided - no more attacks.

Anyway - a legal page to live coverage (norwegian page)

http://www1.nrk.no/nyhetsspiller/type/loop/tab/sport

[Magnus]

Carlsson is a big disappointment, I had expected more from him, on the other hand, I have had my doubts abt him. Sometimes he gives me the impression of talking a bit to much, without showing the proper results. That he drives well in Sweden is no big surprise, rally Norway is more of a leveller. If you get a good result in Norway, you probably have what it takes to be a good driver, since it is new to everyone. Therefor I am glad that the Solbergs-brothers are up there, I really do not think Petter has the best behind him, but I hope he has the worst behind him when it comes to the car...

Loeb is probably a big disappointment in his own eyes, but before his off he kept up really well with the Fords. Personally I have from time to time had the impression that Loeb plays it safe. However, looking back, he is really pushing, he just makes it looks so easy that you have the impression that he is in it for the points, and not for the wins. I think his drivingstyle is perfectly matched to the mechanichal package(drivlinan...?) of the Xsara and the C4, if he starts to push a little bit further, he will loose his balance, and start to make mistakes, he can of course find it again, as the development of the C4 continues, but it may be cruical for the WRC. The Fords, being an impressive machinery in terms of handling and reliabaility, have the possibility, in the hands of guys like Bosse, to alter the balance between Loeb and his car.

It will be an interesting season!

[GigiGalliNo1]

I forget that Pons is driving Mitsu WRC so now I know why I forgot his name is saying to Pino and me that he is faster the Galli! hahaha

Well Galli and Mitsubishi's are my fav spesh that SILVER Mitsu! :p

[GigiGalliNo1]

3 rallye's 3 diff winners

[DonJippo]

I think narrower roads and twistier, also 1 time for the drivers, the note is propably not that precise everywhere, yesterday it was heavy snowing also, difficult to see.

In Sweden there were no snowbanks to get stucked...

[White Sauron]

What times are correct? From BF Goodrich or from the splits sites?

[Helstar]

Three winners yes =)

And see ya all at 12:14 for the last stage, the MONSTER 44km SS !

[FabiaFan]

On the last stage, there will be big fights for any place in the top 9, with the exception of Latvala!!!

[GigiGalliNo1]

44.27 stage is coming up next!! ekkkk how will they go? will anyone stop on stage like they did yest? loose a lot of time?! Who know's less then an hour left! Lunch anyone? :p

[Xeroid]

Galli can take Stohl,
GO GALLI !!

[raybak]

Galli can pull back those 12 secs no worries.

ray

[Bruno Portela]

I forget that Pons is driving Mitsu WRC so now I know why I forgot his name is saying to Pino and me that he is faster the Galli! hahaha

Well Galli and Mitsubishi's are my fav spesh that SILVER Mitsu! :p

Did you forget my name???? :)

[GigiGalliNo1]

Bruno!!!! hahahahha

No i didn't thanks :p

[Helstar]

LOL everybody seems to care about Gigi only :)

But as pointed out by somebody else, we have a lot of fights - everybody from 1 to 9 position except Latvala (pity, without the penalty he could have been there with Solberg brothers).

1 M. HIRVONEN 3:03:57.8
2 M. GRÖNHOLM +18.4

3 H. SOLBERG +3:48.5
4 P. SOLBERG +4:04.5

6 M. STOHL +6:40.8
7 G. GALLI +6:53.5

8 X. PONS +8:41.4
9 D. CARLSSON +8:48.8

Predictions ? IMHO they will stay like this. Unless some mechanical problems, because nobody will really push (except Pons and Carlsson maybe).

[FabiaFan]

My prediction: Two "couples" will stay like this, one "couple" will switch positions, one of the last couple will crash ... The problem is, I have no idea which couples...

[Brother John]

You can have a problem ore mechanical problems without push!!!!

[Halvis]

LOL everybody seems to care about Gigi only :)

But as pointed out by somebody else, we have a lot of fights - everybody from 1 to 9 position except Latvala (pity, without the penalty he could have been there with Solberg brothers).

1 M. HIRVONEN 3:03:57.8
2 M. GRÖNHOLM +18.4

3 H. SOLBERG +3:48.5
4 P. SOLBERG +4:04.5

6 M. STOHL +6:40.8
7 G. GALLI +6:53.5

8 X. PONS +8:41.4
9 D. CARLSSON +8:48.8

Predictions ? IMHO they will stay like this. Unless some mechanical problems, because nobody will really push (except Pons and Carlsson maybe).

You might be right, but I wouldn't be surprised if something happened. 44 km can be a tough test for concentration, and I'm not sure if "driving safe" is easy. Also, remember the huge gaps on the first run through. Marcus and Mikko will surely drive on splits, but on the Henning vs. Petter battle it is more uncertain. Henning is starting before Petter, and will have to push, at least from the beginning, before he can see splits and possibly take it more easy - if he gets splits at all. In Sweden he didn't want to see splits, he felt that it took his focus away from driving. I haven't seen anything now, so I don't know if he gets splits now or don't.

[GigiGalliNo1]

I think there will be a fight between of course Stohl and Galli and a swaped position! :)

[GigiGalliNo1]

French Frog on Stage :p

[Brother John]

anyone the link for live fotage?

[edacurf]

anyone the link for live fotage?


http://www1.nrk.no/nyhetsspiller/type/loop/tab/sport direkte.........

[Helstar]

anyone the link for live fotage?
What ? There is no live footage here :p

[Brother John]

yes there is!!!

[Halvis]

The link on NRK works, but it is a couple of minutes "off" the real time, probably because it is just a stream of the TV-broadcast, and they don't wanna compete? So if you want to watch it live, don't listen to rally radio, as it takes the surprise away.

This means that you dont have bandwith enough (not fast enough line). It as 300 Kbps required, you only have 272.

[Jimmy Magnusson]

Come on Daniel, you can do it! And Galli fastest at split 1!

[Integrale]

It will be close between Pons & Carlsson. :O

[Mauri A]

Where is A.F.F., the golf hater? We have today already one Mikko with a win in his pocket!

[GigiGalliNo1]

272

how does it know that?! ahhhh that sucks!

Galli fast just let's wait for 2nd split!

[DuncanD]

Manfred Stohl stopped on stage according to rally radio!!!!!

[GigiGalliNo1]

Stohl Stopped On Stage!!!

[Jimmy Magnusson]

Wonderful coverage by NRK - why couldn't SVT manage something like this? Anyway, Carlsson in 1 second quicker than Pons on split 1 and only +2.8 behind Loeb (but what will happen when Galli gets there?)!

[Halvis]

The link on NRK works, but it is a couple of minutes "off" the real time, probably because it is just a stream of the TV-broadcast, and they don't wanna compete? So if you want to watch it live, don't listen to rally radio, as it takes the surprise away.

Now I've timed the web transmission, it's 35 seconds late.

[Helstar]

OMG this live stuff really sucks ... :S better than nothing I know, but it really sucks ^^

[GigiGalliNo1]

where is galli? where is galli?!

[GigiGalliNo1]

fast fast fast!! :D

[Halvis]

Worringly slow 1st split for Henning! Hope he doesn't take it too slow, Petter has taken half the distance in just one split!!!

[Helstar]

Stohl and Pons stopped on stage O_o

I must eat my words next time, I'm sorry for them !

[GigiGalliNo1]

bruno pons is :o

petter -8.6 faster then henning

[Jimmy Magnusson]

Yes, but Petter is even faster :D

[Bruno Portela]

bruno pons is :o

STOPPED ON STAGE

galli 5th now :D

petter -8.6 faster then henning

Galli deserves he 5th place, sorry for Pons he was driving a fantastic rally!!!!!

[GigiGalliNo1]

Galli should calm down ,he does not have splits in his car, so he don't know about stohl!!

should I sms him and tell him? hahahahah :p

[Magnus]

Bosse 2,2 after henning at first split

[Jimmy Magnusson]

And here comes Hirvonen :)

[Woodeye]

Galli deserves he 5th place, sorry for Pons he was driving a fantastic rally!!!!!

was he, really?

[Magnus]

Diff henning petter down to 6,5 by second split. 3,6 ahead of loeb

[Helstar]

Ok now the TV has improved :p

Mikkelsen is really a child ! Incredible to see such a young guy inside a WRC car ahah

[Jimmy Magnusson]

was he, really?

Rather, he kept out of trouble while others binned it.

[Slipzen]

Stohl and Pons running again. But far behind

[Magnus]

Mikkelsen 58 efter loeb

[animrallye]

Stohl restarted after 9 min

[GigiGalliNo1]

galli slowed down!!!

[Helstar]

Gigi cooled down ! Seems that your SMS worked Matt LOOOOOL

[Bruno Portela]

was he, really?

Compared to Sordo he was driving a hell of a rally!!!

For me Sordo is the disapoitment of the rally, as he also was in Sweden!!!

[Bruno Portela]

galli slowed down!!!


Thank God you've sent him a sms

[GigiGalliNo1]

Gigi cooled down ! Seems that your SMS worked Matt LOOOOOL

hahahahahahahaha :p

[Halvis]

Just got it confirmed on TV that Henning drives without splits into car. He must have had a small moment before split 1, because now he's a little faster than Petter, creeping closer...

[Woodeye]

Compared to Sordo he was driving a hell of a rally!!!

I think that neither of them has exactly shined on this rally...

[GigiGalliNo1]

Gigi has no splits in his car like Henning, so he didn't know! :)

Interview!! Next

[GigiGalliNo1]

Vai GiGi! :D

[Helstar]

Gigi said it ! I've received a message that Stohl stopped on stage so I cooled down LOL :)

[Wim_Impreza]

This live coverage is really good.

[Jimmy Magnusson]

Oh my, Wilson haven't come across the third split yet... :p :

[GigiGalliNo1]

lol :p

[pino]

Great result for Gigi :D

[GigiGalliNo1]

I think there will be a fight between of course Stohl and Galli and a swaped position! :)


I knew this stage will be make or break drivers and as I said before it came true! haha

[Helstar]

Henning well deserved podium ! Stalled on start that's the reason of the bad first split.

Stohl is right after a Ford in the stage :)

[Halvis]

Henning's car stopped for 10 secs in the start of the SS! He says that he drove like mad the rest of the stage, and was more off the road than on.

[GigiGalliNo1]

haahhahaha how much swearing we will hear this weekend?! hahahahahah love it!!! :D :D :D

[Woodeye]

Mikko won! :up:

[ProRally]

mikko did it, well done

[Jimmy Magnusson]

Hirvonen wins!! :D

[CABAIO E'LONA]

oleeeee oleeeeeee oleeeeee mikooooo mikooooo!!!

congratulations!!!!!!!

[Helstar]

Stohl arrived but didn't want to talk. I understand him. Must be really disappointed.

[Woodeye]

Absolutely brilliant drive by Mikko. He beat Marcus and Seb by just being faster, not with luck.

Congrats! :D
