Nueville says he's at the limit... cant match Ogier/Meeke.
So, Meeke 10 sec in front of Ogier, with Neuville in a good third overall.
Meeke faster than Seb, again.

I'm a Meeke fan, but I hope for good attack from Nueville tomorrow. He have pace and a position to that.
Meeke faster today,if not slowing at Otts off, he would take all stage wins.
nice clip of him

Thanks for correction. I thought he recently bought one. Maybe he has two in the team.Quote:

The first part of this second stage must be very wide and open, otherwise I can't explain how Kopeckı with no power steering can be second fastest there (he looses plenty of time on the rest of the stage).
yeapQuote:

*Patrick Bernardini, Corsican driver two-time French Rally Champion:
“This special stage, with a distance of thirty kilometers, is less mythical than others but still displays some famous places. This includes particularly the notorious hairpins from Casaglione. At the beginning of the stage, the road is fast and wide, since it has been renovated for the local people. Before, the recces were quite complicated due the narrow roadway. After that, drivers reach a crossroad, the Furcina bridge and then they face the Calcatoggio hairpin. By the way, drivers will have to pay attention in the uphill climb, where there are always some cows on the road. On this part, the road is winding and narrow; it will be hard to cut the corners. Finally, the drivers can count on a fast and bumpy roadway with a lot of changes of pace. Overall, this stage is ideal to run some tests. There was an era where I used to go on these roads to make adjustments on my car. The local people know it by heart – I’ve often taken it to go to Sarrola – but it’s not very well-known by the public.
It’s a nice little stage, which follows a big one (SS1-3). In the nineties, the special stage was almost forty-one-kilometer long and we used to take it into the opposite direction. In 1996, I specifically remember starting at the third place behind Philippe Bugalski and François Delecour. I finished a few meters behind them, taking 1’59’’ over Bugalski and 1’48’’ over Delecour. I was on fire!”
