JML doing a smart job and into third overall now.

Let's hope conditions are a bit more equal on the second loop.
Fri 11:54 - SS5: Loeb loses ground
He's smiling at the finish control, but he is 22sec slower than Ogier through the stage. Loeb completes the morning loop just 3sec ahead in the standings. "Sometime you have to fight." he says. "Very, very muddy and I have to take big, big risks to drive like this."
Please stop posting driver´s quotes!Quote:

Great fight in WRC2 between Lefebre and Koci, on the other hand very poor stagetimes by Breen.
Yep...Quote:

Now the question is not to know who of Ogier or Loeb is going to win, but where are the others? After 5 stages the third is at more of 1mn....
Service park live stream is up.
One minute isn't much in Monte. Only after SS10 we can start speculating... ;)Quote:

Yeah but look who are behind them. Tänak and Evans who have almost no experience compared to the three ahead of them. They are doing great job.Quote:

I'm Wonder why others so slow, Tanak, Meeke, Ostberg, Evans - all was faster yesterday and Kubica not, and today all the opposite

Remember Kubica is second on the road, which was an advantage on stages 4 and 5.
and Ogier was which one on the road .... and with factory Polo vs Private Fiesta.Quote:

No Ogier was behind Kubica. And whatever Ogier is saying is quite often not true. :DQuote:

Kubica really fast; but always a question mark, until when he will be able to stay on the road....
Delecour on the 5th stage already faster than 2WD class.....surprise in those conditions.
So this waving from and to other only due to stage characteristic... SS3 and SS4 not favor for first cars, SS5 not for backrunners.
And that's why Loeb vs Ogier battle bouncing from one side to other. Really better will put Ogier down to the order or pull up Loeb higher to see real difference
Ogier 2 slicks+2studs, Kubica two snow+2 studs for next loop
And what in a boot?Quote:
