On of the challenges of rallying is getting to the end; so I wouldn't say Ogier was handed anything. He simply had the best pace and finished the rally in the shortest time.Quote:

Let's hope Sweden will be less schizophrenic.
Of course we know where is Barbados! Or at least me :DQuote:

I do remember a few people on this forum saying Mikkelsen was handed his first win by Ogier crashing out, if they're consistent they would say the same about this one.Quote:

I think Ogier was lucky to get away so light with his few mistakes (Neuville's damaging mistake was smaller than Ogier's but with much worse consequence), but luck is part of rallying too and you have to accept it.Quote:

Didn't he not damage his suspension and as a result have a flat tire?Quote:
