Good morning all...
Loeb seems impatient to come back home ;)
If there's lots of snow Mikkelsen benefits a lot. (compared to Ogier, of course)
Mikkelsen very fster than Ogier on that SS19 :eek:
Was Hirvonen sparing tyres again :confused:
Göranssons dot stopped just before Split 2, now al attyah passed it. Hopefully GPS problem like it was in stage 1 today
Edit: Yes it was, back in normal order now
Said he couldn't find the rhythm and didn't want to risk anythingQuote:

Araujo has no problems.. GPS signal was lost. he reaches to Split 4 soon
I guess the rally is ran now, JML having half a minute should be enough. Loeb will not catch Novikov, only between Petter and Mads maybe some suspens and also between Ogier and Mikkelsen.
Two interesting fights today. Mads 9,4 secs behind Petter and Mikkelsen 9,9 behind Ogier after ss19.
Strange how the cleaning of stages has changed, old starting order #1 said he were cleaning a lot and that it would be clean 4-5 cars behind.
Now it is still cleaning down to car nr 20...
Yet this is Sweden, the only place where sleep is not the final trestle. :)Quote:

He (Mikkelsen) can be much faster he said.
Yes, what did he say?
Are there any links to the powerstage?
Apparently Hirvonen changed the set up for today but it turned out to be worse, especially in slow corners. So, he officially gave up and consentrate on keeping Petter behind him. Congrats Jari-Matti, all you have to do now is to nurse the car home :)
Well on SS19 at last split Mikkelsen was 8 secs ahead of Ogier and at same time with P.G. Then at the finish he was only 3 ahead of Ogier and 7 behind P.G. yet he didn't say anything about it in the interview.Quote:

New great conspiracy theory !!!
suddenly Andersson is faster than Mikkelsen and Ogierat ss19 and at ss 20 very near to Ogier and faster to Mikkelsen.Team orders obviously as andersson doesn t hunting somebodyQuote:

Hopefully there won't be any team orders, don't quite see the reason for them actually. Manufacturers point will stay the same even if they switch no?
As for drivers points Solberg realistically doesn't have a chance to win the title based on speed.
can you please retell it?Quote:

But you need speed to be on the points.Quote:

Rally Sweden has been a roller coaster for Ott. Getting stuck in snow twice. Getting two stage wins and now to top it all off he has stopped with an engine problem. A weekend to remember and forget at the same time
