Interesting, what happen again.... Look like Novikov already off, so can't scary him
Puncture for Latvala after having hit a bank... :mark:
Will Solberg succeed in avoiding all punctures he used to have too ???
:D
Bad luck for Matti :(
We all knew this was going to happen.
I didn't ;)
Sucks big time! They changed the tire right where I was standing.
Too bad that Latvala made a mistake, but great to have him back pushing Loeb to the limit!
Loeb's strength. Hammering the opposition with his consistency.
so itīs time for solberg to push harder now...would be nice if he could go a bit faster and challenge loeb. i hope he wont crash too.
Every. Damn. Time.
Totally frustrating that this happens whenever we have a chance of a real fight for the win... :(
Maybe Petter can take it to Loeb now, but I doubt it.
This was real fight that always ends this way. :D

Are You happy now?Quote:

Solberg pushing but if he continues he may have one of his usual punctures :mark:
By the way: where's Nasser Al Attiyah :confused:
Latvala losing again... No point to push of course but 20 seconds is a lot. Solberg much faster than Loeb.
Not started, maybe due drive-shaft problems which be on prev. SS
Solberg was not that far from Loeb I think Loeb is relaxing a bit too much.
Did not start the stage, broken driveshaft.Quote:

JML puncture is certainly disappointing, on the bright side, at least he didn't crash out under the pressure :o
Loeb said he was caught by rain in stage.
Ogier's power steering failed.
Petter 6,4 seconds faster than Loeb in this one. Yeah, he's lost his speed... I hope he wins, just to spite N.O.T in his own country. :D
Two more stages to go. It will be tough to finish...Quote:

Magical rain or not at least the rally is still interesting :D
Genuine shame about Latvala's puncture as he was driving quite a sensible rally up until now. A win might have helped repair his head a bit too.
Interesting Rally now!
I do hope there won't be any technical gremlins for Petter's Ford.... and hope people who have doubted him, said he doesn't have it in him to win a rally anymore... Look how is has been going with the Ford, this rally and previous ones. With out mechanical issues and things with the Ford... he's been doing pretty well since the good old days at Subaru!
This reminds me of the good old Subaru-days where we prayed for bad weather as Petter always seemed to excel when it got bad out there. Here's hoping for SS15!
At that time were the Pirelli's in wet that helped Solberg.Quote:

Yey! SS16 over, Petter takes 1,4 seconds from Loeb, even after driving out in a junction!
Mikkelsen stopped.
Ho long time Greece Rally doesn't see rain on stages?
Particularly on tarmacQuote:

1 more stage until days end!
