Don't forget the points from P.S.
I hope you are right about Malcolm, but his words don't give a clear message to me.
I dont think Hirvonen, Řstberg and Novikov are enjoying this day very much. Its just a question of driving as slowly as possible, being extremely patient, and on the same time not losing consentration. Which actually is very difficult. Three stages to go before they can enter the podium, a looong afternoon....
The only influence that Ford can bring to bear is to persuade Mads not to give up position but to push as hard as he can to unsettle Mikko. It only takes 1 mistake. (I don't see it happening though)
I predict, 3 points for Latvala, 2 for Peter and 1 for MikkoQuote:

Ops...
So here we go. :cool: Fingers crossed for Mads and Evgeny!
Sordo closer to JMLs times on SS20 than SS17, tyre conservation for power stage by JML?
Yeah Neuville as fast as Sordo !!! The Belgian won't give his soon 9th place to the Spaniard :D
Neuville again impressive. :up:Quote:

Nice time by Neuville :)
Novikov bad first split..
why Petter is pushing so much?
I guess Novikov is driving not to make any mistakes now :mark:
Because he knows it's worth it ;)Quote:

Only 19" between van Merk' and Neuville, I guess it's done on SS21 ;)
he searches his speed limit ! ;)Quote:

I don't think so. Novikov can easily lose a minute to Solberg on this stage and the next, without it really being a problem. I think he's just taking it veeeeeery easy.Quote:

Ah, so a tech problem for Novikov. :s
perhaps because the old adage easier to drive at near 100% than drive safely at 80% is still as true today as 15yrs ago?
Wow, what a strage thing to break for Novikov!
Thats such a shame for Novikov
Ogier doesn't lose time enough for Neuville to reach 8th at the end of rally :mark:
Absolutely terrible! But I hope they can fix it somehow!Quote:
