Nasser if they start with 2 minutes must have overpass Salazar
Petter gunning it!
Al- Atiyah must have phisycally overtaken Salazar on the stage.
Sordo losing some seconds...

That I think is one good stagetime from Petter!
It looks like Mikko could win the rally by 'accident'.
Yes, but the real rally ends for him always on day 1Quote:

Back to the rally:crisis in PWRC Fuchs is losing too much by end of long superspecial. Change in 1st position now Mexican Guerra in the lead (let wait till end of stage)
Is the team orders from Citroen just to stop the 2 drivers from taking too much risks or is it because of the championship?
that is the problem with big stages... usually everything is decided early
so although it is exciting to have 50 and 60 kms stages, it actually making the rally less interesting...
i was 12 once ...it sucked big time !!!!!
Stages like this should be on first leg, as second or third stage. Nothing is decided at that time. Its easy on last leg, to slow down the drivers with that technologies during the stage if the gaps are minutes.
Petter at 66 km stage gain 1,43 min from Seb -Andreas.Remaining 68 km more and the gap is 1,55 min.Very difficult if no problems.
Is it so hard to Ford to calculate this senario? Why are they announce that 5th position is possible and ridicule themselves?
I really lik very log stages, but my impressin is that they may be out of date for modern internet-fans, which are most of the WRC followers nowadays.
Big differences are not what "anxious splits watching" audience is acostumed to.
as werner said if you have a 66km stage at first stage would be different.
SS15 started.
Hirvonen could still win.
Maybe he could, but he is not allowed to...

In many cases you got the results day after the finish! OK, times change but let us "older than 12" have our opinions, which are not accepted by nowadays standards. Anyway, in the beginning it was also endurance.
