He is driving on maximum. I just think Ketomaa and Hänninen is faster. A bit suprised that he was slower than Sandell yesterday though...

They started to get problems on SS5, first they though that it was the driveshaft that went broken but it turned out to be a shaft in the gearbox.
However the mechanics managed to fix that at the service.

Then on SS8 yesterday they damaged the frontright shock absorber and had to drive with it the last 4 stages yesterday

Then Today on SS14 the engine lost its oilpressure and it was game over for Flodin.

Ogier is pushing - if JML is faster than in the 1st run Ogi is clearly faster...

So Ostberg is still on the rally? Our telly missed him completely on the live TV stage (SS16)... har har...

Normally Latvalas gap should be enough, impossible to catch by driving, only there is often ground stones in the narrow part in Himos stage, it would not be the first time some one loose a tyre there.

After two stages Sordo was ahead and it looked his experience of the rally would have made the situation last... :mark:

Hänninen has already lifted the car 3cm from yesterday, and will in service lift more, so this day is safe mode already.

He's fighting for 6th.. I think it can be done, but maybe just a couple of seconds too much..

Top 5 in the first run of Himos stage, with Ogier having one major moment and then taking a line of his own before the last corner:

No wonder loeb was so keen to see ogier move to ford as he expected this to happen,problem is its happened so soon and i think it will send loeb to early retirement. :s mokin: :s mokin:

How come the top 5 is inverted? is that a decision any rally can take or does it need FIA aggrement?

It was scheduled earlier prior the race, just not info how many crews (from which position) will be reverted for last TV stages.
