the only sure is Loeb will not say excuses,quite different to your beloved driver.

Ogier losing some seconds at split 3. Mikko fastest.

Pic of Latvala' rear left at the end of SS2. He went slightly wide and hit a rock.

@ dimviii - My beloved driver is still running second to Ogier. The fact is that times change and I'm sorry that we'll never conclusively know if Seb L could have beaten the VW / Ogier combination but like it or not Ogier is showing he's a true Seb!

we have 4 rallies this year,so we will have some ''safe'' conclusions,even Loeb without so many rally kms.

Don't really get your point mate, not many people are surprised by times I can imagine, also accusing best rally driver in history of using excuses is ignorance.

Sordo is stopped at the stage. He was losing more than 2 mins at split 5. :(

Edit: he is moving again. Ogier and Loeb overtook him.

I'm sorry that you feel my question for discussion to be ignorant, perhaps explanations or reasons would have been better words to have chosen for the answers to inevitable interview questions. My point is that a day 1, 27km stage loss of 8 seconds from a better start position is not typical Loeb.
As for best rally driver in history that is subjective, most successful is not necessarily the same thing ;)

Mikkelsen seems to be a good choice by VW...
