He was driving very slow on that stage with technical problems. He went of on tricky place near the end of the stage.Quote:

Shall we cancel Wales too? Fog exists longer than rallying and the bad weather was always part of the game. Unless You invent a weather machine rallying will keep fighting with bad weather or it will became an F1 where even a rain is seen to be often too dangerous to keep the race... Remember the famous drive of Walter Rohl in Portugal?Quote:

Another win by Mr Consistent, Jan Kopecky, and a 1st win on gravel !
Excellent win in terrible conditions but driver of the rally must be Craig Breen - only 30s down after nearly two and a half hours racing and on his 207 gravel and Azores debut...
Well done again Craig and also great to hear he still isnt satisfied with 2nd:
"We just got through that one. We need to be clever again. Of course I tried to push very hard this morning. Nothing stupid, but for sure we were pushing. Its all very well racking up these 2nd places, 2nd is getting monotenious. I want to win."
I think that Rally Sweden should be thrown out from WRC as well... for sure! You know guys, I have heard that their stages are always covered by ice (you know this slippy and dangerous stuff) and sometimes there is even snow on the road!!!!! Can you imagine! :-PQuote:

How many mechanical retirements (realted to bad road conditions we had? Compared to many other rallies? Not too many. When drivers go off then it is their fault. You have to drive as fast as the condtions allow, not faster. Congratulations to the great winner.It was well deserved win! He was clearly better tha anyone else.
Yeah, that's Rally. Remeber SS12 was cancelled yesterday because of really thick fog, so not so bad conditions for the rest
But to compete in the Azorian events he has to take the plane to go to the other islands. :)Quote:
