Duval dissapointing so far...
Sordo faster once more than Hirvonen in split 3
I think that JML will be the champion in the future. And it is clever from Ford not to let him go to some other team. This year has been quite bad, I think so too. But you should always look wider than one stage or one rally.Quote:

I think it`s team orders. He isn`t quick enough to catch Loeb and Malcolm Wilson stopped him. Dudu will be second in 'Mikko/Francois' pair.Quote:

Sordo is stepping up his pace.
Toni Gardemeister is not so fast as Latvala, but he has much more experience and he is not a crasher.Quote:

Peter solberg is doing a great job so far in this stage....
I thought last year too that JML will be a future champion, but now I have my doubts. When Loeb retires from WRC, there is still Hirvonen, Sordo, probably Atkinson. Sébastien Ogier, Andreas Mikkelsen and Per-Gunnar Andersson have more experience than too.Quote:

LATVALA J.-M. / ANTTILA M. "I missed one junction, went straight and had to revers. It's everything on me, I lost rhythm."
SOLBERG P. / MILLS P. "Not bad, but we had an big bump. It was incredible. Otherwise no problem. Think hard compound was good choice."
DUVAL F. / CHEVAILLIER E. "I'm driving after very long time in these conditions. Road is completelly destroyed."
SORDO D. / MARTÍ M. (st. č. 2) "I'm happy, very good time. Our target is to keep Hirvonen behind."
HIRVONEN M. / LEHTINEN J. (Rear left tyre completelly worn."Car was very understeering, I don't know how the tyres seems. I can't do more."
LOEB S. / ELENA D. "I had clean run, pushing from the start. In the middle of stage I took no risk, tried to keep good pace."
Let's see what the second loop of the leg can bring now... ;)
ogier out?! no splits
finished, time okQuote:

Ford has gambled heavily for Panzerplatte, but also heavily lost.
Ford took the decision to drive with soft tyres on the long test, more than 30 km on harsh asphalt. Wrong decision from Malcolm Wilson. :o The tyres on the Focus of Hirvonen had completely worn out.
Hi all,
I wish a fast recovery to Gigi. What happened at his accident? Co driver ok?
Everything else looks quite normal in Germany.
Loeb was and remains the absolute favorite for the win, Sordo needs to justify his position in Citroen, Hirvo is just picking as much points the Citroen guys allow him and Dudu good showing, I don't think would do any better since too much time out of a works seat, would be great to keep a top 4 spot.
Well you do very very well.......Quote:

Stobart is an M2 team. Stobart is supposed to be independant of the Ford manufacturer team.Quote:

Are you Matty's mum? Because Matty's mum is the only person other than Malcolm himself who would blindly support him and Ford when Citroen and Loeb are clearly superior in every way.
I was told that Prokop/Tománek will not restart under superally as they are frustrated from another retirement in fighting for victory... Everything is wrong this season :(
Great that Gigi is on fairly good shape when looking at the circumstances.
Interesting question for the rest of the season is that who will replace him? (hopefully not Duval since he is not showing anything spectacular now)
What a horrible accident. Just saw it on Youtube. Glad it's just his leg that's hurt. Hope he gets better soon.Quote:

At that point it seems that Dudu had little bit more speed with the old Xsara than with the Ford.
Yes, unbelievable. As I said earlier in this thread, they must go to Loeb and ask some of his luck...Quote:

Or maybe this :)
Drop Latvala to stobart for rest of season and give Marcus an offer he can not refuse :D
