However, on the itinerary there is no distance between regroup and service and there is only 1.2 km between stage end and regroup, so it sounds a bit strange. But I dont have a roadbook for more detailed route and therefore I cannot tell more.

It was not according to rules - rules state that you have to follow the roadbook, either tulips or the explanatory maps. Itinerary or checking in are irrelevant in this case.

That´s true. The rules are not same for everyone and Citroen knows how to handle these situations...

Yea there is one rule book for Citreon and one for Ford.

Ogier blatantly (but accidently) broke a fundamental rule of rallying and has been allowed to get away with it, disgraceful!

Also, do not mention that Jean Todt is also a froggie!! (the supposed saviour of World rallying!!!!!) Also not forgetting the influence of of another damn froggie in Michele Mouton.


Also the problems with Petter's car (why is it that he has problems that the 'official' seb cars don't have?) will not affect the other french cars, according to the cry baby, gee what a suprise! from:

What happened to Petter Solberg today and was there a concern it could affect your other DS3 WRCs?

“Petter had a little problem with the electrics. He just found what it was and put it back and the car was okay. It’s not a problem that will affect the other cars I don’t think.”

Much better then, I see a huge fight between the Sebs on the way.

Me guesses if Latvala or Hirvonen had been in same situation as Ogier your point of view on the answer would have been quite different :p :

I'd say Michelle Mouton in this case, not directly Jean Todt ;)
And Ogier knew how to seduce her :D
