Sat 09:10 - SS9: Sordo update
The Spaniard's Hyundai has a broken suspension arm. He and co-driver Marc Marti are trying to fix it by the roadside.
Looks like he fixed it and off for ss10Quote:

Yeah, Ogier and Meeke in a class of their own.
Tanak 2 sec/km off Ogiers pace. How much is this the tyre? Discuss!!!!
Ray
A lot, i think at least a second of this 2 seconds or even more but we dont really know because we cant compare him with someone else. If he would run the same stage with michelins then we could compare.
new photo from Camillis fiesta from different angle ,that shows plenty of damage

also we have to say that this is a new stage for all.
Mikkelsen -2 from Ogier at 1st split.
Ogier finished with 20km/h lower average from the slowest stage so far(the 55km previous with 100km/h average)
Why such differences?Quote:

Mikkelsen is fast
-43,9 for Mikkelsen
Meeke slow 1st split +9,3
Cool! Mikkelsen with great tire strategy for this stage!
+- what he lost on previous stage, so it is question which strategy was better...Quote:

Driver has better car, he is better driver, his tyre choice is better, he has more commitment, he knows the road better.Quote:

imho was a choice which gained time from Ogier,considering both stages (9 & 10)Quote:

Mikkelsen gained time on Neuville and Latvala, both stages together, but not compared to Ogier and Meeke.
if you want to see if was right choice is very easy.Quote:

Do the same for stages 9 and 10.
Imho was a good choice.
Bouffier stopped on tracker
Edit: moving again

dimviii explained it well, his lost to Ogier is less for the kms passedQuote:

smaller number wins.
So simple,whatever says Mikkelsen.
and just to confirm my guess Evans goes even faster than Ostberg.
