Stages are stages and only one of these was a superspecial. If the 'real rally' only starts tomorrow then the likelihood is that both Mads and Mikko have ruined their chances already considering Sebs form...Quote:

And Tanak and mikkelsen are showing great speed. We have much better fights this year than last 5-10 years. Looks very positive for this sport!
I wouldn't be surprised also if it turns out Ogier has almost new tyres for the rest 2 daysQuote:

Yeah, youré right. My fault. But when all non objective talk comes up I´m getting angry. And using that b******t word isn´t that bad, is it? After all there is a lot of it at the moment. Right BJ? ;)
very good live in wrc.com now!

A very positive day in general. No major driver retired. Privateers are making good competition, probably except Tidemand, but lets not judge before the Rally ends :)
Colin Clark ?@voiceofrally 3 ???.
Huge moment for Jari Ketoma in SS7, damage to front left and right. Think he scared himself!!!

This is Swedish rally, and in my opinion almost as fast is not enough, Hänninen should be faster if he wants more events and even a cntract for next year. In some other event, almost would be good (not Finland of course)Quote:

Juho can´t drive "maximum attack". He is forced to keep the car on the road and no risk.
Monte carlo was so bad for the team. Now they want finish only!
tanak is max attack now

Just what kind of conversation is acceptable to you?
Can you give us an example---a "template" eller en mall om du fatter ej vad 'template' är. of the approved style of writing?
It's hard to know how to write when we have no idea then suddenly in the middle of NORMAL chatter---you come along and say "I need to "clean up" this thread.
No you need to explain yourself, and your standards..then we can all conform... :stareup:
Eller avgå.
NOTHING is more offensive than somebody threatening to silence normal conversation.
I think Mikko has lost the speed. And I am a huge fan of him.
He should be right there with Ogier in order to fight for the win, but he's
22 secs behind. How is that gonna change.
Prove me wrong, Mikko!
nice day overall although the stages were small and i hate that... everything is open at the moment. VW will determine the winner if the others do not catch up.
strange tactics from vw,considering who is 1st tonight doesn t matter at tomorrows startlist.
Mikkelsen battling with Ogier all day and decided to keep his tyres for last 7km stage,while he attacked at 2x18km ss and 3x 7km ss?
Maybe Ogier didn t like to be 2nd tonight
Mikkelsen said last stage he was on worn tyres to keep new for tomorrow.Quote:

if you can t understand why Mikkelsen while fighting for stage wins all day,at last 7km stage he decided to protect his tyres with 10th stage time can t help you.Only your French phobia pills can help.
Also i am not a citroen fan,i am fan of rallying.I dont give a s$it if citroen wins or looses.
Any professional team would do it...
it is common sense in situations like these the risk to lose a driver due to a mistake is quite big and a FULL podium with just 1 team is a very nice advertisement.
Slow I do not expect you to understand everything... you are not a very smart person and it shows by the way you construct your posts...
Dim behave yourself, dont use the s$it word ;) u will get banned...
Really curious if Ogier will make his usual trick and dissapear ahead of everyone else!!

Enjoying this event so far, there's a lot to be played out yet but Mikkelsen and Tanaks pace today has been great, all in all a lot of positives so far on this event
It's more likely you might get banned for "I don't like..." ;) (referring Mirek's case)Quote:

Judging from todays stages average speed (except Finnskogen) it seems "real" rallye sweden will start tomorrow...
one question about tires: some people here are talking about saving tires, but there was not even one service between todays stages, how many tires are allowed per crew?
Too bad for Henning the puncture on todays last stage, almost a minute gone.
I think there was service between loops. 28 tyres with stids are allowed here I believe.Quote:

24 tyres per crew.
4tyres for Shake.
we have 6 service during a rally. So 24/6=4 new tyres per service. Any puncture - cost "not use new tyre at next stages". Quite strange rules from orga.
thanks all...still don´t understand why some crews saved tyres at shakedown though...
I just don't get those tiny shorty stages. And it's getting worse with the years.
it's a big question. Cuz SD tyres must be marked and return after shake.Quote:
