Breen could half his gap to Evans on one stage
Citroens working well in Germany, I believe. Good for the sport they hanging in again!
I bet Ogier won't win this stage, either Mikkelsen, Tanak or Sordo (fastest 2nd split).
It seems he stopped before the start of the stage 15Quote:

He's through with the loss of 1m45s to Paddon. "We had a puncture about 30km," he explains. "Maybe just a small stone went through the tread. It was a slow puncture."
We already knew they had a good tarmac car. Please keep up ;)Quote:

Kopecky in trouble here too...
Mikkelsen beats Ogier by 3.2s !
For me Ogier 2-3 cars behind on Panzerplatte means he's not pushing.
Correct!Quote:

On last split it was 5.6 secs. Tyres shot?Quote:

That was a reason. Ogier think about championship, but not about taking stupid risks to move up by one place
Kopecky +2 mins at second split.
Very wise. He wouldn't have expected to take this many pts from Neuville here. He can drive within himself to another title now (I was hoping for a super close fight to the last round until Neuville's retirement here).Quote:

What an awful rally for both Paddon and Latvala. From the get go they both seemed completely out of tune with their driving, IMO. I hope their confidence or concentration comes back for Spain, or the power stage at least.
Pleasant surprise from Hanninen too, every time I think he should go he's not too bad.
Also, knowing Mikkelsen's luck Tanak will crash on the power stage and he'll win.

Neuville must be happy that its Mikkelsen in the C3 to take points off Ogier...
Paddon is going well today.Quote:

Does Hanninen have a spare damper? Else he will loose more.
Evans loosing prbly also due to tires and Breen charging
Anyone carries spare dampers?Quote:

Not likely, but driver's error can happen any time.Quote:

If Neuville gets the PS and Ogier doesn't gain any positions, he still has chances... but I don't see Ogier ending up 3rd in this rally.
Well at least he is not taking any chances, like the one with Neuville's corner. That much is visible from the onboards.Quote:
