;) Expect JML to incur a road penalty to give Mikko the place but win the power stage
He did (mathematically), starting this rally, but he would have to have won all three remaining rallies (including France), with the other 3 title contenders scoring no points, and JML to win almost all the power stages.Quote:

Well his 9th place at Rally GB in 2005 (Subaru Impreza WRC) is still his best result. The following 5 WRC rallies in a WRC car has been DNF's. The pressure for sure is there to finish and score points in the final two events, otherwise MINI will look at a replacement for him in 2011. I think Prodrive expected him to be ahead of Sordo or at least match him on speed. This hasn't happend and there is simply too many driving errors (his own words).Quote:

No Toni has lost it if what I saw at Ypres this year is anything to go by.Quote:

Why didn't Ford impose team-ordes on this stage instead of waiting for the Power-stage. Now they have removed Latvalas chance of taking Power-stage-points from Ogier. They are really not good at strategy at Ford!
Mikko lost all chances in 2009 and if he won Championship in this year, he will be worstest champion in WRC history
He will be the greatest 'paper' champion ever, because he relies on Malcolm Wilson's team orders and tactics.Quote:

It've been quite a few enjoyable and tight tarmac rallies during the past five weeks or so. I would've hoped for Sordo to push even further but this is still a very good indication for coming seasons.
Please do us favor and stop this crap! It's clear that you don't know too much about it.Quote:

Well, it's BMW money paying and that's not "British" but I agree that despite only DNF'ing he is the best GB has to offer right now. (Don't want to go down the road that Wilslow is scoring more points ... that's just to lame an argument ;) )Quote:

Yes - manufacturer's points that is.Quote:

The 10sec penalty for a jump start in SS20 has been removed meanwhile.Quote:
