I can't get to that number, I can think of 5 max - Ogier, Latvala, Ostberg, Sordo.... and probably Hirvonen when all above have problemsQuote:

Very good time for M. KOSCIUSZKO
Wow Kosciuszko quicker than previous rallies!
Great time by Kosciuszko, Ogier has no more flu :D
Indeed, not far from Novikov with much worse starting position. Well done! Or have Kubica and him swapped cars? :pQuote:

Well that was the oppositions only hope! Mads going very well and a nice pace from JML but like Mikko not quite on it still.Quote:

Too much talk JML, focus on driving... please!
Very bad tyre choice by Ogier . . .
Bizzare tyre choice by Ogier. They still have 4 tyres to run on those tyres, and it will only get more abrasive and hotter.
Ok, the WRC2 battle is on!
WRC 2 and 3 might be more interesting.Quote:

Great time by Wiegang, Lappi slower so far
Really? Are you sure there isn't a service between the 1st and 2nd runs.Quote:

Evans is on good pace sofar, matching almost split times of Lappi and Wiegand.
What no road tyres for the run to Lisboa?Quote:

Isn't number of hard tyres limited? Maybe he's saving them for next days...Quote:

i wont under estimate Ogier with those wrong choices. but i really wish Osberg wins.. he is the second fastes driver of 2013
No split for Cosziuscko on stage 2?
PG a lot faster then Lappi, hope he does not become obstructed by the car before him.
PG is going to enjoy overtaking a lot today...
Great splits for PG indeed, Magalhaes on the other hand is setting slow splits, i expected him to be a lot faster.
Kościuszko have soft and said that now they are bad choice
Let's see if Ogier think the same after this stage :DQuote:

but just 3.3 seconds ahead Lappi
