Loeb & Latvala giving up
Novikov is properly fast, just needs to become more consistent and he can be a challenger.
Stage win for Mads ! :bounce:
Am I the only one who thinks that splits should not be allowed in the car?
Ogier saw Loebs splits and therfore backed off, boooring!!
Novikov faster than Hirvonen :rolleyes:
But it shows how much mental capacity he has that he can do this. Most of us would be using 100% of our brain power to keep the car on the road, these guys can turn it up or turn it down as they want.Quote:

I think splits need to be in the car, drivers respond both ways, though it is sad to see for this stage Loeb making mistakes and backing off and therefore Ogier backs off, but nobody wants to throw away a position now.Quote:

So best Citroen after Loeb is on position No. 16 ... :bandit:
I´m sure they will do everything to hold Loeb back on WRC ... ;)
Are you sure Ogier had the splits because I had the idea that he made some tiny mistakes and hit the snowbanks watching his last corners on STV.Quote:

That was Kirkener 2, the stage he backed off (Finnskogen 2) was not broadcast. :)Quote:

To the spectators the rule should be always push to the limit, but spectator pleasing isn't the major priority that often in any sport.
Why couldn't Citroen manage to secure the services of Mads Østberg? Great choice to go for Sordo instead...and Hirvonen hasn't exactly looked like a championship contender this weekend. Without Loeb they won't have much to cheer later in the year...
I don't think citroen will be in Wrc soo many years after Loeb, max 3 yearsQuote:

Looks like Hirvonen will go for PS win. Starts after Ogier
Illegal use of tyre warmers? :pQuote:

You know Loeb.. If he wants something then it is a win ;)
Or a team order.. Go slow and make mikko happy ..
Mikko takes penalty to start after Ogier. Maybe PS win after all???
Abu Dhabi 2013 deal with Citroen seems to be for the next 3 years.Quote:

Seems Citroen was ready to officially pull the plug last year, facing the need to reduce costs, it's Abu Dhabi who is covering the amount needed for them to continue as an official team/manufacturer.
Latvala & Ostberg on par 2 splits
Typical Citroen, clever tactics...Quote:

Look at the Rocket Ogier now
Ogier is the new boss - flying even though just has to finish to win...
