Pitty for such end of this classic rally. I can not imagine the frustration for coming on this legendary stage from another part of the Europe and then cancelation???!!! I'm sorry for all the fans.
About the results: Loeb can win this rally at least for another ten years; it is such an easy work for him. This is big shame for other competitors, they have no arms against mighty Loeb on this event. Mr.Loeb, you are writting history. Those results are immortal.
VW-they can be more than happy, second place is very deserved, was never in danger, no technical problems whatsoever. This looks very promising. Speaking for Ogier personly: behind his smile I can see some frustration, as he had no chance against Loeb. And all the talks how Loeb is not his opponet-it is rubbish. He definetly wanted to humiliate Loeb on his ''home'' event, but it turned other way around.....And I'm afraid that Loeb will beat the hell out of him also in Sweden....
Sordo-very good, very good. Bear in mind that snow is not his favourite surface. Third place is much more than he and we expected.
Mikko-big disappointment, but at the end his reliability has been paid; fourth place is not bad considering his ''slow motion'' during the whole event.
Novikov and JML: it woud be a miracle, if one of those two would not crash. So they did both....But Novikov was fast.
And two others who impressed me: Crungola and Kremer.
