So, Ogi already on podium and still two stages to go for today...
if Ogier had a rally driver opening the road using rally lines and not some useless dog tourist he would be in the lead by today... he might still do it though but i think he will take the lead tomorrow.
hard times for Meeke and Latvala now.Ogier very close.Will they stay calm?

Latvala should be ordered to stay calm... nothing to fight for anymore so he should act like the obedient dog he must be... he brought himself into this situation so he should act his role in the team.Quote:

Nasser after change setup at service 8 & 13 sec faster than Lappi and Tidemand.

Nice live stage and good free stream from RTP2 via Hola... :)

Both Skoda crews say they are taking it easier on 2nd loop due to rougher roads. I guess that is where Nasser's WRCar excels too.
They said it before or after the stage? This is importantQuote:

The past has shown that the way to win PWRC/SWRC/WRC2 is to finish as many events as possible. Reliability played bigger role than speed in the past years. This event confirms it. Only very few crews without big problems.
Ogier.... meh
Soon second...
Paddon gains two places and is best placed Hyundai
Soon the win!Quote:

Ogier, well heŽs the best. Make his contenders also very good being able to match his pace (almost).
Gooo JML!!!
Latvala needs that win more than Ogier, so he should push on this stage
Tanak again fast on first splits. Good start by Latvala too, hope he will finish the stage safely.
I've been wondering how far Ogier's soft front tyres last but they seem to go on and on and on... duracell tyres?
Only 0.4 seconds between Ogier and Latvala at 4th split. Very tight fight
Sat 17:21 - SS13: Ostberg
Pleased to get to the end of a difficult day. "We did all the stages this afternoon with little turbo boost at low revs. It's impossible to have a rhythm. I'm using first gear in third gear corners."
IŽll take that back... :(Quote:

Very good job from Meeke so far. The car seems to be improved and closer to VW and he's driving very fast and sensible without pushing so much. Let's hope he will finish the rally on the podium.
Just managed to catch up with todays action. I was not expecting anything else from Seb. Tomorrow will be a nice fight hopefully, lets hope Latvala does not bin it!
Btw what happened to Al-Rajhi?
Sadly Meeke is the only one able to put pressure on VW crews and even he was badly beaten now on the last stage...Quote:

Tidemand lost some half a minute on the last split. Any info what happened?
Not just Ogier, all the VW drivers are very quick and it seems it doesnt matter what their starting position is because in the end they still get the 1-2-3 result.
Radio was not great, but I think he said he lost brakes at the endQuote:

Yes, the last stage was a disappointment but hopefully with good results for confidence and some more experience of the rallys he can fight with VW's.Quote:

Not really important but Nasser has 10 seconds penalty for jump start.
