Well, I don't think it's much difference in stage distance (14.23 vs 18.15 km) but given that Sagen stage is faster, maybe new tyres help on what's supposedly more twisty Fredriksberg stage. Also, Loeb usually is able to pull rabbits out of his hat. I predict that he'll take back more than he just lost but not enough to take the lead.

And mind you, it's not four new tyres - just two spares that'll they change to back.

Yep this is the million dollar question. Mikko seems to think his tyres are spent so lets see. Not sure whether Seb can take 8secs out of him but I'm sure he'll try. I'd say he's good for around 1.5secs on the short stage too so it could close up nicely.

And well done to Marcus for the SS win!

Good time for Al-Qassami too. Only 2s off Ogier and 10s quicker than Ostberg and Henning.

Dissapointing stage for Räikkönen, or is it just those tyres?
