Can anybody give us an idea of the crew's conversation?

Co-driver doing it too? Maybe he is friendly with the GF?
Did he just wedge the phone between his helmet and left ear?? :O
Edit: Nope, there it is again! Impressive work I must say..
the word from martin prokop after shake....nothing about the tires, but the road changes:Quote:

Yes, pitty... Also Arzeno and Consani are not starting (no budget). A press release about Gilbert will follow later, when I see it I'll post some short translation of it here.Quote:

Fun, but weird at the same time..
This crew from Italy is amazing! Look FIA - this is what we want!
Exactly!!!! I would pay for this service! The French would do it!
I know the livery is unpopular, but the Citroens look great in the snow.Quote:

P.S. The user who uploaded Sordo and Latvala videos, has uploaded some more (Ostberg and Neuville until now): nicolas pernin
You will be satisfied. Snow on stages is granted.Quote:

Interesting that contrary to the stereotype it was Ogier over-cooking (hardly a 'crash') and not 'Dangerous' JML.Quote:

He went off where and when he could afford to try limits. The point is not to go over them in the real rally...Quote:

I also don't really mind the M-Sport burgundy, though I think they could have come up with something a little better.
Thanks for posting the shakedown. The VWs are looking pdq. I haven't expected much in my pickems from them (just 7th for Latvala). I must say I have more excitement for this season than I've had for a while.

Conditions changed so much that we have to wait tomorrow to see who will be fast and who not. Thierry Neuville can be very fast but big risk for offroad in hard conditions

Taken from: A snowy start to 2013Quote:
Not all the top crews were on studded Michelin tyres for the first pair of runs, however. All the Citroën runners had chosen the tiny metal tips, for example, as did Skoda’s (sic) Latvala and Ford’s Hanninen, but Ogier, Ostberg, Novikov and Neuville went out on snow tyres. For the second visit later in the morning, the Citroëns remained on studs, Latvala switched to snow tyres, Ogier tried studs, and all the Ford drivers opted for Michelin snow tyres.
Ford have saved all their studs then?
Isnt it compulsory for Priority 1 drivers to do shakedown? So you couldnt skip it and save tyres?
