No more news on possible tyres for different competitors?
My predictions are that Kubica won't get though the next 3 stages.
Nueville made the same mistake that Duval made when he swapped from Ford to Citroen.Quote:

He never finished in Monte, so maybe he is trying to finish for first time and not searching for any limits.
So, basically I can understand that kubica was driving smootly and pretty safely. Ogier was slower because he was trying to create big cuts via the snowpiles and other corners. the point here is the fact that he do not need to be faster than Kubica he just needs to make the life harder for those behind him ;-)
What's up with Lorenzo Bertelli and all this "fuckmatie" stuff?
close call for Elfyn

Interesting tactic from Seb O, SS6 from pictures doesn't look good for a slicksQuote:

Way to early for this comparison.Quote:

I have no doubt he will be fighting for victories soon after the new Hyundai makes it debut. I think Andreas Mikkelsen Neuville will both become regular challengers for victory in the next season or two, along with maybe Meeke as well (although Kris doesnt have age on his side long term).
Ostberg/Loeb: 4 snow + 2 Super Soft (SS)
Ogier: 4 studded + 2 SS
From Michelin twitter
Ogier must work as hard as possible to get as much snow on the road as he can ! :DQuote:

Been on his sunshield strip since 2013 -gone a bit more explicit but its a direct cop from FCUK for his Italian clothing company (iirc). Remember he's a Gucci family member.Quote:

Regardless of whether TN is able to be competitive in Hyundai his bank manager probably approved of the move!Quote:

close call for Ogier, or MaxAttack :)

Chardonet is on the stage now
Looks more like a close call to me...Quote:

Evans: 4 studded + 2 snow
Meeke: 2 snow, 2 studded, 2 super-soft
Mikkelsen: 2 snow, 2 studded, 2 super-soft
So no studs for Loeb...aggressive, i hope it pays off
Less ice, more mud compared to 1st run according to Bruno Saby
Maybe save tyres... only 24 studded tyre allow per rally.Quote:

He thinks Loeb made the right bet.
That's interesting
Quote:
FRI 14:43 - SS7 WEATHER
Snow falling at the 18km point. Still plenty of ice.
Kubica and Ogier slower than Chardo at 1 st split o.O
Chardo finnaly find 2nd gear. Fastest so far after 1st split
Can somebody briefly explain how those choises work, they dont drive with six tires right?Quote:

Kubica faster at finish than Chardo, hard on tires...
2 tires in the boot, in case they need to change...Quote:
