Gotta answer to myself. From Ogier's point of view, if he slows then those behind him slow too. So he can't gain anything by going slow on PS so he might want to win it anyhow. Who are the other two on PS is the interesting Q.

Anyway: hope he finds his rythm!

I'm sure Malc would like a second place in WDC but I think we're seeing a repeat of Latvala doing enough at the end of the season to secure second! I note that there are showers around on El Priorat today! Bluford any prediction?

Should be bone dry until the end of rally.

Don't understand why they didn't run the gravel on the first day, then use the night stages on the Saturday, with a short final 3rd day. Putting the gravel leg last is asking for 'trouble'.

Looking at the splits, I personally think that the RRC/R5 cars aren't fast enough.

A shame about Mikkelsen, but another silly mistake - and the Fords seem off the pace.

Thanks Blu'
Mirek -makes JML's performance in the Fiesta last year look pretty good. JML has to push on the Power stage he has to take the certain points and hope for the best.

Also Wiegand is really slow. During Barum rally I had a feeling that he finally found the speed (it was not perfect but not bad either) but here he is completely off the pace. Maybe it was because he used works car in Barum but still...

Both leader and 3rd in JWRC retired on SS5(Suarez and Tidemand) :s

leader was Lemes Tom ;)

SS6 running now ;)

Ogier? Genuine problem or trying to drop down early enough so that others may not follow his suit? Or different tactics for each VW driver?

Yes, Neuville on a charge!!!
