i think that he is not going to do.

Even if he does.. not much will change in his speed.

I would rather both of them have a change to fight but reserve the right for team orders when or if they are in a position that they cannot lose or gain positions.

Maybe but he was told that JLM is first driver and he's second. What's that - collecting points. He should try at least.

it is still early for changing the priority of the drivers.... 2 retirements of Loeb with Latvala winning are not out of the question in the remaining rounds still very early to tell....

Very true , it is early days yet in the championship.

I know it's while avoiding Atko but, does anyone know the cause of the Novikov's roof's hole? Thanks in advance.

As he told in interview, he has met in the middle of the dop on fast corner crashed car of Atko, and he needed to pass it using outer line. There was fence with barbed wire. And he touched it, and barbed wire cut his roof.
That's it.
You can hear it in russian

So Atko is guilty ;) He has broken championship! His crashed car caused Novikov crash, in his turn Novikov caused JML crash :)

I supposed he explained it in the video, I've to improve my Russian :D . It wasn't said in any place (I haven't found it, at least), not in the comments of the video.
Yeah, uranium, the Atko's crash was the butterfly effect :( . Thanks again for your translation.

Sometimes it doesn't work out. That's the price of a little excitement.

I'm a Ford and JML fan, I agree with most of what you said but don't you think 20 seconds would not be impossible? Mikko and Loeb are, after all, just cruising. I'm just saying.

And? Before the stage it was +1:16.0.
P.S.: 20 sec would be impressive if JML did the stage.

1. Hirvonen M. - Lehtinen J. 36:30.7
2. Loeb S. - Elena D. 36:31.4 +0.7
3. Solberg P. - Patterson C. 36:34.6 +3.9 +3.2

Nice cruising...

of course cruising,except if somebody thinks that when Loeb pushes, can be 20sec down at stage splits,and all these without problems

Loeb is in safe mode. :D
