I like Ogier. I remember him getting more and more frustrated at Citroen so happy to see him flying for VW. I'm a Mikko fan, but as he is out of the running anyone can win, just so long as it is not Loeb (again) :)
It's true that Ogier has done more test at the wheel of the Polo than Latvala, but the Finnish needed a rally and a half to win his first stage in the Polo while Ogier has already won eight.
Citroen want Loeb to drive the whole season ... ;)
I hope not. The championship can get pretty interesting even on the manufacteur side with current line-ups, and without Loeb.Quote:

The live streaming is about to start from the Studio at 11:15. Five minutes later Hagfors Sprint 1 live too http://www.svtplay.se/video/1008081/9-2-10-00 …
PG at Live stream!
Hirvonen said this stage felt ******* good!
In the meantime Ostberg is flying
Loeb is driving for pleasure (as the last nine years or more :p ), as a personal favour to Citroen. Latvala has to show that he can fight for a Championship. Being miles away from his teammate in Monte and Sweden is not the best way to start.Quote:

Hagfors Sprint is Live now on the stream :)
Regarding this rally I dare say it's not all over. It seems that if Ogier does not push Loeb can catch up but if Ogier does push he might make a mistake so there is still some tension.
Regarding VW's pace we should wait for the gravel rallies but I think Citroen are in a bit of trouble. I think they weren't expecting the Polo to be so fast and regarding the driver's title they don't have an all round driver that can beat Ogier. Mikko could win on gravel and Sordo can on tarmac but if the Polo shows the same pace on gravel then to me Ogier is the favourite for the WDC. Citroen do have a good chance at the WCC though because VW have Latvala and Citroen still have Loeb for some rallies and two other reliable drivers.
You must be joking. This year has Ogier - VW writing all over the place. (If you haven't noticed he is dominating this rally's thread, yep Sweden!) Travel back in time to Gronholm-Peugeot 2002 and Loeb-Citroen 2005 to bring similar road position rules. Ogier is the all-rounder of the field, Latvala is fast and improving on tarmac albeit generally still unreliable while Hirvonen and Sordo are stationary, good on gravel only and good on asphalt only respectively. Only opposition's DNFs will keep them alive. I will go as far to bet that Sordo will not manage to win a tarmac rally this year. Where you had Loeb-Citroen just write over Ogier-VW.Quote:

SVT delivers as always!
I prefer to believe that a Ogier's win here will mean something similar to Sainz's one in 1000 Lakes 1990.Quote:

U could 3 stages with nine cameras. (driven x2 thats nine stages.)
Should be much cheaper than using helicams.
When they both work in real time who needs live TV?
JML really aggressive in this stage... looks like he's overdriving the car.
When I see Latvala driving in a SSS, I always remember Poland 2009.
Nice pics changing tyres before this stage:

PG Andersson on swedish rally radio after Slowsons's rolling "Without boasting, I can say that I had done a better job in Qatar-fiesta than Wilson JR"
PG was beeing very honest in commenting. He was not impressed by Prokop or Hänninen, he expected more from both.
He also was quite sure that Östberg will beat Latvala cause he thinks Östberg has a stronger mind!
JML lost 4 secs to Mikko driving like that !

This Rally is quite illogical. The 2 most consistent drivers rolled and we have 2 Frenchmans on first places :confused:
Yep, OK ;) . Mission acomplished.Quote:

Anyone know if the Historics are running after the main field this morning or this afternoon ?
At 13:24. It will be their last run of the day.Quote:
