Prehaps Citroen should let him win because of what happend in Portugal?

Both Fuchs and Ligato in problems, loosing too much.
It looks that no group N car is holding for this "new/old" type of longer staged events.

Ogier was already in front of Mikkelsen in the last stage, he tries now but punctures, shame.

Some of the PWRC drivers are passing him on stage now.
This means Petter is up to 8th.

Mikko 2/10ths behind now...Loeb would be getting worried now...if he diddnt have team orders on his side!

It also shows how much faster the Citroen is compared to the Ford, if you look at Hirvonens stage times from Argentina last year and compare them with now!

This is BS. Ford found some improvements for the car this year, in fact in Sweden Hirvonnen was slower. I think it's just about motivation.

He was chasing for the win in sweden this year, last year in argentina yes he may have finished a close second, but not before Loeb gets a huge time penalty and all of the other front runners crash out! I dont think theres BS in there!

One things for sure, this rally has started to get very interesting again! Shame about Mikkelsons misfortune, those two have been fighting like madmen.

the citroens are still faster than the fords, just as they have been for the last 5 years or so. the current pace of hirvonen proves that.

There is no need for team orders. I'll say Mikko wins this one.
Ford is making an great effort to cut team orders from the sport.
They suck so bad that Citroen doesn't need any orders.

Loeb will win if he doesn't get any problems. Mikko will slow down or take it a bit easy for the rest of the day.

Even though everyone is relaxing, wining a 16km by 18s from anyone is pretty impressive pace. If only Petter could do that from the very start to very end of a rally for once!

Not only they are relaxing, but while Solberg was napping in the ditch, others were chewing their tyres.

Very true - if he doesn't win the Power Stage after all this he'll be furious I bet

Again we can see how stupid superally system is. No matter if You manage to get over the hell of first leg and all the stages of the second one You are out today. Others who f*cked things in first few stages are still on point positions. Does the one who crash in second stage deserve points more than the one who crash after 400 km? The whole superally system is nonsense from the very beginning.

Out of rally should be final. Now it`s like Playstation/ Xbox with a reset button! However, having said that, I have found Petter Solbergs escapades in Portugal and Argentina compulsive following..... just to see what he can salvage.
