RK:s time is good if we compared that with Ogiers!

No news what made Latvala lose so much?

He did'nt have a good setup, "did not have any good feeling in the car" and so on.

Bouffier takes lead...

Confidence, set-up. Same as last season unfortunately.

Edit -Well done Bryan, leader.

It's not only you. The site is shit and times appear with 10 minutes delay.

Congrats to WRC you just broke the only thing left that was decent in the coverage of the championship.

So no damage/accident/puncture? Just confidence?

here is faster

Wonder if Bouffier honked the horn as he went past Neuville

Meeke lost a lot at the end for his tyres.

So, the faster will be the one who is the fastest after stage 3, do not make conclusions after first or second stage.

Edit: +35 cm more snow predicted for the top of Turini during tomorrow :-)

Finally a nice shakedown stage for Monte, infact for WRC rally held in France:-)

I wonder where the big teams are getting their forecasts? I have only internet and a little knowledge on meteorology and these conditions were pretty clearly predictable yesterday already...

That stage really shook up the leaderboard... :D

4th on stage, eased off a bit towards end of stage. Sensible.

That is 3rd stage in a row Meeke has had poor final splits :dozey: Couldve been in the lead!! Well done Bouffier, and Kubicas time on SS3 should not be underestimated - brilliant time. Ogier has got a fight on his hands :bounce:

i really can t understand why so many crews choosed 5 or 6 supersofts tyres instead of 4 softs and 2 snow tyres..Even with 4 supersofts is not problem to last these 3 stages at these low temperatures of 0-2 degrees celsious.The only problem is if you have a small off that destroy the tyre.

Yes, I see that now, sorry! :)

Ye, as long as he stay on the road I'm happy. But a real good start to the rally!

Looks like Melichárek is doing a rally of his life, who would thought he could make 5th stage time overall.

What a morning... insane :crazy:

Jesus the Finns should just go home if they're going to continue like this...Evans battering Mikko is laughable even despite the tyre situation and unpredictable weather :laugh:

Wow.. Kubica is on fire! The most impressive debut I ever seen.

Results was much better with two columns on side of each other...
Now everything looks very blurry !!

Wilson must be pretty pleased with his pay drivers; Kubica leads after first two and then Bouffier takes over.

Early days yet, but I wonder whether the same will happen as last year in that the "third" MSport driver ends up as the best one?

I think he'll be happy too. Doesn't need to lead or chase the lead.

Bouffier didnt choosed from Hyundai for Monte drive.What an irony so far!

yes this morning is absolutely insane... :laugh:

But real fun, I think, when it's not like before when Loeb always was leading and the same for last season with Ogier... This morning has been more fun then for a long time...

But we will see, I think Ogier will go much faster on the second loop and will shift up a level or two..

mmm wrc.com... can only get rally radio to work in Google Chrome, and the results page is just wrong lol

Well, his debut was last year on Rally GB, was't that impressive though ;)

Most impressive is that Kubica with same tyres was as fast as Ogier,2,5 minutes faster from Latvala,and 10 seconds faster from Mikko.Impressive nevertheless

Morning friends. Any news? :D

RMC goes on being a chance rally without any predictable outcome for the established drivers. :rolleyes:

Meaning Rally Sweden gives the first hints of raw speed.

Burri 3rd time at stage,and 6th overall :D
