Reading the full explanation of what happened:
"This morning, Ogier checked-in five minutes LATE to the pre-stage service, incurring a 50 second time penalty and dropping to fifth in the start order.
Ford reacted, checking Mikko Hirvonen EARLY out of service (by nine minutes) and into the SS14 start control (by six minutes), to slot him ahead of team-mate Jari-Matti Latvala in the running order.
In a final move, Ogier checked-in EARLY at the start of SS14 (by eight minutes) jumping ahead of all the drivers and saving Sebastien Loeb from running first on the road by sacrificing his own position in the top five."
I have to say that it tells the most about Citroen. Specially the last move was worthy of a 5 year old who has to get it his way no matter what.
Loeb was perfectly capable of wining from first place with Latvala even 4th on the road, specially when 2 of the stages are really fast with patches on tarmac.
I agree. Loeb has been faster than Latvala on all morning stages despite running earlier on the road.Quote:

The difference is that Quesnel hates these tactics and Wilson loves them.
Personally I'd prefer if the fights came from real competitiveness on the stages.
Kosciuszko out?
