Every1 left service with different tyre combos for last 2 stages, no one same, many crossover stud & winter & slick combos, who dares wins!
Who are the brave ones going with soft/supersofts...!
http://www.ralsys.com/irally_admin/n...arloCar132.jpgAfter the morning stage, the Qatar M-Sport team has put out these driver quotes:
Evgeny Novikov (fourth overall / fourth on SS11): "This was a very nice stage – very slippery with very tricky conditions. We weren’t pushing to the maximum on this stage but for sure we will still fight to improve our position. Now we just need to make sure we have a clean run this afternoon and safeguard our tyres for tomorrow.”
Juho Hänninen (seventh overall / sixth on SS11): “The stage was OK. We didn’t make any mistakes, but still it was quite slippery and I was a bit too excited to push on the downhill sections. I just lost the line and was too much sideways which meant we lost the speed. But all in all it was quite OK. “
Mads Østberg (Eighth overall / third on SS11): “I was quite pleased with the opening stage. I think we are definitely learning on Tarmac and then when we got to the snow section towards the end I was able to set some quite good split times."
“We have improved a few things from yesterday and we know a little bit clearer now what we need to do to improve the driving. I need to alter the way I brake into the corners when there is a Tarmac line through the snow, so we’ll keep practising that and work on building up our experience.”
Michelin says Novikov and Østberg have taken 4 studs and 2 winter tyres this afternoon, Hänninen 4 winters 2 studs

Unusual choice by the VW drivers! Risk and fly or risk and bin it !! Lets see whats ahead !

Tyre choice of Volkswagen drivers for SS12 and SS13: 2 supersoft, 4 studded Michelin @monterallye @SebOgier @JariMattiWRC #WRC
These two stages were not run for a long time. I guess nobody has a valuable experience with them. That's another interesting fact.
Ford co-drivers have spoken with their ice-note crews and amended their notes for SS12 and SS13...
