I can't get my head around how on earth they ran the stage (and especially given how short it was) without adequate control.Quote:

Loeb stalls at the first tight hairpin
Another horrible SSS... Big differences though
wait for it...
I don't watch the stage but seeing an average speed of 50 km/h makes my eyes bleed.
It's a better Mickey mouse stage than others we've had in the championship
Ogier pushing like a madman, 3 sec up on the splits
Edit: 4.2 up in finish :cool:
Ogier was superb through there. 16s ahead of Mr Loeb now
What the ? How? That was unbelievable from ogier
Is it just me or was ogiers car much lower than others? At least it seemed to me.
He had completely worn down his tyres apparentlyQuote:

I have seen one car on this stage last year. That was enough, completely waste of time for rally fans...
Old champion makes one-off return in a totally new car to cahmpionship and they decide not to show WRC2? Nice.
edit: OK continued after short brake. At least for now.
Which one of Kalle's achievements is more impressive:
- he was faster than five WRCs
- he beat Kopecky on a tricky super special stage
Winning Wales rally by a class.Quote:

Loeb near roll at 0,55

The former world champion naturally has an opinion on the future world champion. "We have three riders fighting at the front, they are sharp, I would be happy to get involved in the fight with the three of them, they have all the qualities, Ogier does not have the best car, but he is still there, Tanak has had some incredible races at the end of the season, Neuville was earlier in the season, it's hard to say which one deserves the title, they have to run free, but they are likely to make a mistake. losing everything Mentally, it's not easy, "he explained.
Finally, a word about his future, which has become very vague following the decision of Peugeot in Rallycross: "My future? I do not know anything at all.We had not asked the question.The WRX was my main program, it will not be any more, at least not with Peugeot, I have not had time to think about it yet. "

Well that’s put a mark in the sand! If this is a tight contest that big advantage from an SSS could prove crucial (though I don’t expect it to be close ;))
What was the question?Quote:
