Not for me... Rally is the love of my life and I can admit that sometimes it's been really hard to hide some of the feelings after something has gone wrong. I can only imagine how strongly a competitor can feel the disappointments...Quote:

People can die also in this sport..
I am sure that Hevia is as sad as you when it comes to this young girl who had to give her life away. Anyway, he has the right to feel dissapointed and cry when things that means everything to him is spoiled.Quote:

Barreis I find your comments quite insensitive, it's obvious that these guys care very much about what they are doing and to have a dream result taken away from them is very cruel, I would do the same in their position.Quote:

We saw another great fight in this IRC rally, with the Skoda's and Basso being very strong, something that couldn't be said by the Kronos crews, who were all struggeling with their suspensions. It was only after they changed set-up of Vouilloz to last years suspension for second day that he started to do really good times. You can easily see the difference by eye when you go and watch on the stages. Great performance by Hevia who was exceptionally quick on his home rally (he is from Pola de Sierro). Basso was attacking very much with great passages as a result of that, he was by far the most spectacular guy, but unfortunally he went off the road and lost about seven minutes.
At the end, the Peugeot crews were lucky to take 2th, 3th and 4th, due to offroad by Basso and flat tyre by Hevia, they only past Fontana on a regular basis, and Meeke was lucky that Vouilloz was asked to take time-penalty so that he could keep his small lead in the championship. I think it will be a tough fight for victory tough, especially in San Remo. We will see what the outcome will be but i am certainly looking forward to it. :)
Can any Spanish-speaking person help me understand what Hevia is saying in the crying footage? I'd like to know what really upset him so much, I understand it's the puncture ruining months of efforts finding sponsors, etc. but I'd like to know more in detail.
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help!
I think there's a few "please, no, whys" in there but that's all I could get!
Is easy to end with tactics on rallyes. Put only one driver in each team! :DQuote:

Pin - Here!
Hevia - Please... (Cries) ...handbrake... (Cries) ... handbrake...
(Out of the car)
Hevia - No, no, no... No, please, no... Please...
In fact, it seems that they didn't cut the tyre, but a valve wasn't correctly closed, so the tyre lost all the air (I was 50 meters before, and the car was slow, with warning lights, but anybody saw the puncture...)
This is absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much, eloyf1!
Photos are great..
Eyvind fantastic photos!!!
anybody from our Spanish friends who know the reason of retirement for all(3) evo X from RMC TEAM at the same ss?
I saw reported somewhere that the 3 RMC cars ran out of spare wheels. I don't know if this means they all had multiple punctures and not enough spares or ran out of tyres in service. Strange that it all happened on one stage.Quote:

:dozey: best joke ever!! :DQuote:
