[WRC] News & rumours (part II)

Yesterday I saw an article on the French newspaper les Dernieres Nouvelles d'Alsace about Alsace's candidacy to the WRC in 2010, that the deadline for the candidacy was June 30, and that they thought it would be good that a WRC event would be held in Sebastien Loeb's native territory.

Today, this article disappeared from the web and I'm wondering whether because the newspaper just deletes news (but they have older news on their website) or because it was a mistake or because it was not supposed to be public. Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks in advance.

The FFSA will choose in october which of the 4 candidate rallies will host the 2010 WRC round. A rally in the regions Alsace Lorraine, Burgundy and Franche-Comté du Limousin, and the Tour of Corsica

Yeah I saw that. Maybe the article was withdrawn because it appeared before the FFSA made an official announcement, maybe not, who knows. Thanks for the link.

It was in a Spanish Paper last week. It said that Ford met with Sordo in Poland.

well, as said earlier. IF it happends, would be nice to see but who will replace him in Citroen? Ogier?

Spanish papers seems to be very creative with rumours. Look at those Alonso to Ferrrari/Honda/redbull/whatever in the past.

Anyway, Sordo must feel some pressure, because Citroen certainly has some plans for Ogier. So he could have offered himself to Ford. Then it's another thing, if Ford has any use for him.
