No because Mikko has proven enough in the past - it's just this hasn't been his event. Even so, he's still 2 minutes ahead of Ostberg! Even if a lot of that is penalties, it's still the cumulative time that counts.

Experience says he rarely achieved a great result in RMC.

If he hadn't crashed... maybe...

This is just a one rally, last year Solberg had everything what he wanted and he didn't make anything good. So far, Hirvo is biggest disappointment, he tested a lot (maybe most of the team) and like we see he is slooow.

ok Guys ..

Apart from Loeb who is in a league of his own and he is the best ever next is Ogier and Petter.
you all mention that he crashed all the time and yet another driver with half Petters years in the WRC and maybe double the crashes has a factory seat and is tipped to be the world champ just because Malcolm Wilson always spoke highly of him.

Petter should have A FACTORY DRIVE THIS YEAR! period

Now the big question for tomorrow is Novikov, Sordo, Latvala - who has got the best black circular items still in the truck? Another 5 stages like the last 1 and it could be a very exciting time late on Saturday night. I wouldn't be surprised if Latvala and Ogier have been running different tyre strategies to ensure the team had at least one car in contention at all times. We shall see...

5 stages to go! nothing is decided...if weather prediction is right loeb will be snowplug tomorrow....fight for podium will be thrilling, 1 minute between novikov, sordo, latvala and hirvonen, i am afraid juho is out of this fight :(

my tip: loeb-ogier-sordo-latvala-novikov-hirvonen
