Looks like Latvala was slow at first split, Ogier flying
Ogi needs to be just 9 secs faster than JML on this and already at half-point he's achieved that...
Okey, anyway, he did a real good stage time on ss10!! ogier is reeeeal fast!
Sordo still in?
What is going on with TN? Just dust or something else as well?? Lets see
Sordo lost time at the end... lots of dust at the end
Ogier will win this.
Sordo takes the lead!
Edit: Ooops, not!
That's the terrible possibility.Quote:

PUncture for Neuville and that's why he has lost so much time
Hirvonen also quit fast and not so far behind. Podium is still possible!
Ogier is losing a bit...
RR puncture for TN
Looks like he's gonna drop behind Mikko, perhaps even Novikov.Quote:

Fantastic battle ahead. Do or roll.
Another 35kms to go this loop. Wonder if tire wear could play a role.

[SS11] Sebastien Ogier (Volkswagen) 15:40.2 "I have to trust so much the notes, so many times I am completely lost and I do not know the places. I can tell you without the dust, we will be much more faster."
dim. 27.10.2013 / 08h20
[SS11] Thierry Neuville (Ford) 16:28.6 - Has lost a lot of time… Right rear puncture, very disappointed "You cannot see nothing, it is so dangerous, you cannot see nothing, it is very very dangerous. It should not be like this. We punctured… I don't know…"
dim. 27.10.2013 / 08h19
[SS11] Dani Sordo (Citroen) 15:59.0 "There was a lot of dust at the end. Long straight, just flat flat flat, but you cannot see the end. At the beginning it was very nice, but afterwards I lost my place for the dust. It is easy to make a mistake. But it is okay."

Seb is in 110% mode! His complete trust on pace notes makes the difference here IMO, the same as the night stages of the first day
What will Mikkelsen do here?
Take stage win, by the looks of it...Quote:

Ostberg not bad, but quit far behind.
Me too.. This is not very good at all. He would have been a lot faster if had just driven the Skoda instead..Quote:

But not a good stage time.
Paddon has now driven two stages on gravel in a WRC car, he never had the opportunity to test on gravel. What do you expect of him in these circumstances, go maximum attack in dust with a car that is totally new to him and bin it?
Finally it is good to see someone with sufficient self discipline and knowledge to know when to go fast and when to be a little more prudent. His time will come.
Mikkelsen 10 s faster then Ogier :)
Carlo. Your right in that part of the pre-tests in the Fiesta but I do not agree for his future. Okey, he can as all can, pay his way in to a "seat" but I do not think he will get a contract without alot of money....
Elfyn has some damage to the clutch of his Ford Fiesta R5 following yesterday's incident. He will go no further today
People used to say the same thing about Scott Dixon when he went to Indycars but he proved them wrong too.Quote:

I get a little disappointed with Hayden as well. Really want to see someone from AUS or NZ competing. It is a bit hard to judge his form here. What is going on up front is just madness. Bit tough to come in after driving a Skoda and hopping in an understeering Ford that requires you to quickly adapt to the way they seem to have unpredictable reactions to inertia.
seems that Ogier will manage it.Lets see at the long one.
Yeah, Ogi needs to do as much as he can on this one to reap most from the cleaning effect.
