Rally Jordan 2010

some pictures from second leg:

I guess Jordan River isn’t among Petters favorite stages, he lost 50seconds to Loeb over two runs and he is 43seconds behind in total.

golden road position for J-M now :)

Am I the only (blindly optimistic) person who still thinks Petter can win this rally? He's only about 20s behind Ogier, and I think he can make that up. It then only takes a small mistake by Loeb like a spin or stall and petter is right on his tail. 2nd is more likely but if he makes up 3s a stage on Ogier then he'll catch him at least.

Win? Of course, anything can happen, but it's not really realistic.. As I think even Ogier will be hard to catch tomorrow. If Petter can't get his set-up optimal he may not even reach the podium. Still, with a good setup and going a bit nuts, he should be able to close up on Ogier.

Either in a ditch, or more likely about level with Petter. Remember Petter has very little to lose, whereas the whole Ford team are relying on JML for Manufacturer points.
You've also got to remember that if it weren't for the two Jordan River stages where his setup wasn't right, Petter would be in the lead, or within about 10s of it. He has had the pace this weekend in every other stage, and from 4th on the road I think he can charge up the standings.

Yes, I can confirm that your class is half full :-) How can you be sure that there wont be a stage where his set up does not suit? And anyway. You know, the point system really favors winning. If Latvala wins and Hirvonen can pass Henning somehow then they get at least 29 points. If loeb finishes second, and Sordo cannot pass Ogier then Citroen gets only 1 points more that means 30 points. So, Sordo has to pass Ogier tomorrow for sure. That means he has to pass Ogier or Ogier should fell behind Solberg and Sordo. Anyway, Podium for Ogier looks unrealistic when you look from teams point of view.
