Duval dissapointing so far...

Sordo faster once more than Hirvonen in split 3

I think that JML will be the champion in the future. And it is clever from Ford not to let him go to some other team. This year has been quite bad, I think so too. But you should always look wider than one stage or one rally.

Duval way off the pace....

I think it`s team orders. He isn`t quick enough to catch Loeb and Malcolm Wilson stopped him. Dudu will be second in 'Mikko/Francois' pair.

yes...unfortunatelly Mr Wilson is interfering again with a another team... :( :( disgraceful but thats typical of the ford scared dogs.

Sordo is stepping up his pace.

Toni Gardemeister is not so fast as Latvala, but he has much more experience and he is not a crasher.

Looks like Loeb is backing off and Sordo takes full advantage of it...the battle for 2nd could be well over after this one.

Peter solberg is doing a great job so far in this stage....

I thought last year too that JML will be a future champion, but now I have my doubts. When Loeb retires from WRC, there is still Hirvonen, Sordo, probably Atkinson. Sébastien Ogier, Andreas Mikkelsen and Per-Gunnar Andersson have more experience than too.
