It looks like Marcus is letting Mikko to win, counting on team orders and/or Mikko's courtesy if unlikely need to take the win would arise...

What´s happening down there, snowstorm?
Seems so...Latvala loses his place to Solberg...if the trend continues.....
Loeb with no lights in the night and the fog. Amazing.
Latvala loses almost 2mins to Solberg....and he didn;t reach the finish yet!!!!!
Say what? Indeed that man is a robot! :eek:Quote:

I had wished Marcus would win. But i guess he does not want to end his career with 3 DNF... So he is taking it easy.Quote:

With JML problem on SS6, Seb can lose 2 minutes and still be 5th (assuming Sordo would drop behind him if needed, so basicaly he needs to be faster than Wilson, can he do that?)
No, just must have really good pacenotes! :)Quote:

Quite some drive without lights!
Latvalas splits stopped.....
Windsreen is misting up, just as good to retire now as he's already lost 8min on the stageQuote:

What has happend to Stohl?
No finish time fr JM....
A pity for JML, I was hoping another Ford 1-2-3 for this season just to have some fun...
Atkinson finished the stage.
In these VERY difficult conditions (reminds me first day of rally Turkey last year) Mikko Hirvonen is showing what he is really capable of!!!
In your profile stays November, the 30th. ;)Quote:

The way things go all the crews have nothing to fight for for the next 2 days.....
Incidentally, Atkinson turns 28 today!
The Munchi cars are also having probllems.
I can't wait to see the footage from today....
Manfred Stohl
Citroen "It is unbeliebable, rain, fog, everything. It is really exciting. Anyone who finishes should be really happy."
Petter Solberg
Subaru "It is very difficult, but fun. We broke a damper and it is very difficult to drive the car."
Chris Atkinson
Subaru "We had a problem with the windscreen misting over. We had to slow down and I opened a window, which helped a bit."
Jan Kopecky
Skoda "There were some places were we couldn't see anything. It was very difficult."
