Well done, JML! I'm already getting a feeling we'll see a really close battle in Finland between JML and Ogier and Hirvonen and Loeb - plus the wild horses.

Loeb -5,5 at last split!
i think none wants to do the 48kms stage tommorow being first on the road......latvala has to extend his lead if he wants to have a chance.
Now Loeb 26,2 behind Mikko.At morning was 46,8
Who says sweeping is an issue in this roads?
Latvala will try to have as much gap as possible, but not a problem.
dust + early sun is more of a problem for on going cars.
without the penalty Loeb would be just 6 seconds behind....
Maybe a couple more seconds since he would have been one position ahead in starting order plys pushing might not have been so agresssive.Quote:

Refresh my memory: is tomorrow's 48,21 km stage longest stage in WRC since when? Germany's Panzerplatte last year was 48 kms sharp.
