Rallye Wrc Monte Carlo 2012

Such a shame...We were expecting for 2 months for a proper fight that ended up prematurely....Jari's mistake??He must have settled for a safe podium...Monte is a very difficult event to compete against Seb....Back off in the danger,attack when it is realistic to beat him...It's too early to judge for the whole championship though...For me Jari is the closest guy to Loeb in recent years,closer than Marcus was...However I am not sure about the effect that this off will have on Jari's psychology...A Super Rally would be ideal to regain his confidence,something that possibly will happen in Sweden...

Delecour is almost 50 years old (!) and hasn't contested a WRC event for years. His performance this morning was terrific, and it is great to see an old stager like him carrying the fight to the young pretenders! To suggest that his performance is due to underhandedly obtained information that others do not have access to is disingenuous at best.

Hirvonen never have beaten Loeb in a championship. If you want to be the best, than you have to beat the best, in every rally.

now Latvala 0 points.... and Loeb has the upper hand way too early with some pressure off his back.... of course the rally has a long way but who can bet against Loeb with a 1 minute lead ?
