that wasn't too nice from his side, you should have a look at this onboard when ostberg was just couple of seconds behind kubica, screaming like a baby, with the second kubica's 'pit stop' there were bunch of polish fans trying to help and norwegians standing and just taking pictures..

WRC Sweden: Ostberg criticises Kubica after day two hold-up

these ostberg allegations that kubica knew that he was behind is just ridiculous, kubica moved after just couple of meters, not like last year meeke driving few kilometeres after novikonv
what's wrong with these norwegians, too less snow ? ;)

Tidemand choose another reardiff before the rally and unless the other Fords. That diff he says, is good when surface is hard. Now, he says, the car is not stable, no grip, and he´s just depressed. They tried to change but it take to long time at service. Maybe they´ll try to change later today.

Mads said Meeke was off.

Problems for Andreas at laast split!!!!

Mikkelsen arrives, car billowing steam (?)

So no battle for 2-3 place is on! Just 20s between them

Mikkelsen has a broken strut says excited reporter

next stage a long one 24,63km...

All question about can Mikkelsen push hard in next stages with that damage off car. And 19 sec is real for Mads.

Latvala through in 10:34.8...on Mikkelsen: "I hope he will be able to carry on..."

He lost at last split 12 sec. Despite on first three only 7sec. It's definitely something wrong.

any live splits page? citroen have good one before? any have link?

seems that he had a small off at snowbank,blocked the radiator,and engine worked at high temperature.At next one we will see how wealthy is his engine

They were cleaning snow out of the air intake and Markulla told CC to calm down, supposedly nothing wrong with car. Possible they had a minor off

edit: Dim quicker as always! Lets hope his engine is still healthy, really blocked radiator there!

Maybe , maybe... but I think Mads cut from Andreas at Vargasen too

So next stage will be live! At 10CET there are 30min highlights and 1030 CET starts the live action. This works for the moment (football on though now...):

Mikkelsens engine seems ok.Fast at 1st split

Mikko has no splits?

Well, he's got one. Split 4.

Thanks, was wondering too.

Probably new record on Colin Crest made by Hanninen, he jumped 46 meters
