Then there was more water and full ice in the forest - we didn’t have a good feeling and we didn’t want to end up in the ditch. Of course we’re still battling and we need to make a better choice next time.”
Patterson said: “We really struggled on the last stage, especially on the ice on the downhill [section]. We had a spin at less than 3kph and a stall but we’re still here and we’re still fighting. There’s a long way to go so we won’t give up.”
Ford team chief Malcolm Wilson added: “Stage 11 worked really well for us, but on stage 12, the conditions had deteriorated quite a lot since the [safety] crews had gone through it. Petter had a huge moment very early on, resulting in a 100-metre slide - as similarly happened to some other drivers - and after that, he sensibly decided to just get through to the end of the stage. He wanted to protect his podium rather than risk anything rash. Going forward, stage 13 this afternoon is likely to have rain, and of course we've still got the famous passes through the Col de Turini to go, so I very much believe anything can still happen."

Must say it's boring rally. Too much free space.
Today's winner is definitely Sordo. Second place battle is almost over, he just needs to drive safe for the reminder of the rally to have an excellent season start.
has mikko found a new gear???
or is it just a good choice of tire?
or are loeb and sordo starting to slow down to ensure the final podium as the gaps are huge now?
