Even worse: he lost Catalunya in 2003 to Pannizi because the unexpected rain played right into Gilles desperation gamble to use soft tires while everyone else used hard. That lost in 2003 cause him to not be crowned WC.
Remember, luck come and goes: overall it will even.

World Rally Championship - News - News Archive - Loeb: I just do the simple things
Why would he continue if he doesn't want to? Because it will be bad for the sport?
He can make his own decisions. I hope he stays for one more year.
Is PP2 late or something?
Now it's time for Panzerplatte 2 :bounce:
sport is fu@#d by the impotence of Ford and their management to be serious at drivers choices,and their strategy at rallies.
Is not Loeb fault if they are playing like amateurs.Is not Loebs fault if Petter and Jari after 10 years at non stop wrc entry they can t finish a single rally with 4 wheels in the fiesta.Is not Loebs fault that they can t setup for a single rally their fiesta proper.Again in Germany soft setup for Jari and wrong tyre choice for the 10th? time this year.
Would you all prefere to have for champion Jari or Petter with these performance they show this year?You really prefere this instead of Loeb even if it is for 9th time? I dont.I want the champion to deserve the cup.
Ιn many sports there are athlets that have dominate for years championships.They didn t destroy their sport.Simply they raised the level.(Schumacher,Rossi ie)
Don t moan about Loeb,better thank God that we have the opportunity to see his perfection.
Sordo stopped AGAIN on Panz stage..
Has to be more then a puncture if he's stopped... on Arena Panzerplatte 2
Solberg already had beaten him once.Quote:

It's happened many times to JM also... Ford can do some good times but Citroen can do good times in every stage. And if Ford drivers try to push hard enough to challenges Loeb, they'll crash. Sooner or later. Mikko's job is to drive safely to finish. He's not very good in tarmac so Citroen aren't that stupid that they let him to push 100%. This year shows that he is the world's best 2nd driver. I don't know that can he ever be 1st...
Maybe Ford are thinking more with their Wallets then Citroen...
Tanak problems? :(
So looks like Tanak and Sordo have problems
From Helicopter… Sordo looks into the bonnet on side of the road… Tanak hit Hinklestein!
Yeaaaah, hit one of these nice concur blocks aside
Van Merksteijn stopped and blocking stage!! Same place as Tanak!!
Sordo phoned to service/team. He is OUT
Tanak retired as well. Confirmed.
Shame
Boys are learning :)

And there's the million dollar question: Why Loeb never tried another team? Why he didn't went to VW? I know the answer that is obvious: Affraid of not winning anymore. If with a good VW wouldn't win, then the guy is not the best.
