Hahaha, totally awesome! :) Very crazy attacking from Neuville, many close calls there but made it to the finnish. Totally deserved win. :up:
Jakke Honkanen and Jussi Välimäki commentating in Finnish Eurosport, funny reactions when half of the car was hanging in the ditch. :D
Big congratulations to Thierry and Nicolas, amazing drive trough Golgen Stage with several narrow escapes, but he made it and won deserved in front of Juho and Jan. I think he have a great future in front of him.
Congratulations to Neuville, experience starting to pay off and awesome driving style. I think he is the new Ogier on the way.
Hopefully a new Loeb=))Quote:

Woo hoo, brilliant drive from TH - so who would make a better Citroen no 2. Neuville or Hirvonenen?
If anyone is interested I'm currently auctioning a signed Neuville and Gilsoul poster on e-bay - Very pleased to have a spare and a shot I took at Ypres 10 signed by him. I remember looking at the provisional results at Ypres last year and he was standing next to me, totally un-hassled. Think he might be very much a centre of attention from now on.
He was driving supreme already for the whole season from Canarias onwards...
Ehhh, it's funny how always after a good result people get super-exicted and are transferring guys to WRC factory team. :) Come on, Neuville has only driven seven gravel rallies and he has very limited experience in WRC. You really think he could manage Citroen's second seat?Quote:
