Poor pace by Petter, and good pace by Ostberg on this one.
Mikko gaining...
And Loeb 4" fastest of all so far(until split 6 for now) :cool:
WOW JML what a time to Petter

Interesting !!! One split before, Latvala was 7" faster than Hirvonen, and just after on the next one, his gap reduced to 3" faster :confused:
What so special is about that? Abbring is learning and it seems he is learning fast but still Ogiers targets must be way higher than to defeat unexperienced teammates. He is the benchmark for them not vice versa.Quote:

Aaaaai, Abbring in trouble!
Maybe a slow puncture, the reason he lost so much time to Ogier and then stopped to change the tire?
Problem for Abbring !!! Lost several minutes to Ogier on one split :(
tire change for Kevin ?
YEAH LOEB !!!! :bounce:
Loeb the boss...
Way to conservative from Petter in his "no punctures" approach, ok he has no usfull splits in front of him, but....
Østberg show where he is compered to Tanak, Novikov, Neuville....

Yup. Östberg is a class above those three at the moment.Quote:

About Latvala's suspension problem from yesterday...Does anyone knows if there was a driving mistake, or a simply mechanical failure?
Did I see a link to a live feed in the service? Can someone please post it?
hit a rock...Quote:

Shouldn't the roads be pretty clean, since it's the 2nd pass?Quote:
