How do you mean? Ordinarily or in this case? I don't think neither, Ogi is so good.

Grönholm and Solberg slow as hell. Maybe the road getting worse with drivers but it also seems that it's generation change.

Prehaps Solberg is a 'has been' after all.

When was the last time that Latvala was genuinely on par with Loeb with normal road-position? Maybe Mexico 2008. For instance last year in rally Norway Latvala was one minute off the pace.

Marcus is still quicker than the other drivers behind the top 4. Not so bad if you have done nordic skiing more than driving a rally car during the last couple of years...

I didn't say it but I was comparing JML to Sordo, whom he should be beating. And should be able to, as well.

Being 1st on the road today would be an advantage.

You're welcome, just we were working on it bit under pressure, but seems everything is working fine. Our programmer did good work ;)

that stage had a lot of gravel in the start.Maybe Mikko wanted to save the spikes for having grip advantage later on stage.

Sordo has upped his level remarkably, so much that JML would need to improve from his normal pace in order to beat Dani. There is not many rally in history wehre Latvala has been as fast as Dani now.

Prehaps his confidence has been damaged by all those crashes he had at the start of last year,

A bit surprising really, the brake has been that long.

According to Autosport TV, Matt Wilson is Australian. Nice fact-checking.

Marcus Grönholm said that maybe first on the road is better place to drive than behind.

Road is clean for first car, when the cars hit snowbanks there will be more snow on the road for the other cars..

Morning all. Just woke. So far so good for the reliability of the BP Abu Dhabi For Focuses according to the rearly report on wrc.com. Hirvonen almost doubled his lead.

Lets see if Mikkelsen can catch PG. My 2 favourite guys in rally. Mikkelsen has better road position today and they are very close to Kimi's times now

I think Mikkelsen said he only got 40km test before the rally, he will be faster when he finds the limit of the car.

I think so to, he's got much potential. I just hope he won't try to find this limit by going off...

Wrc.com is absolutely denying the existence of Andreas Mikkelsen. In their summary of day one they are writing that PG Andersson did a "clean sweep" of the first day stages. In reality Andreas Mikkelsen beat PG on one stage. The summary article actually hasn`t got a mention of Andreas Mikkelsen at all.

But now Andreas has started the day with beating PG on the first stage (and passed Tuohino in the overall standings). Lets see if wrc.com picks up that fact, or if they still continue to ignore him. ;)
