Latvala at the end of SS3 "Good. I'm happy with my time. Seb is very fast here. I'm not out to beat him. My target here is top five."
What happened to the plan of podiums? How he wants to fight for title with top5 finish?
Meeke only 0.9 sec slower as Ogier:)
Neuville +10, reason: "chassis moving a lot"
I think he realizes that he has little to no chance at this year's RMC. The way Ogier, Meeke and Mikkelsen have started is just sublime, and he's been struggling a bit with his confidence since SS1 last night. The Monte has never really been kind to Latvala, either, which is why his 2nd place finish last year was so special.
I'd want him to push harder, though. Even a three-way fight for second between Meeke, Mikkelsen and Latvala could get really interesting (assuming Ogier grabs the lead from Meeke and doesn't look back).
The gravel specialists are playing a wait and see game. Waiting for the asphalt specialists to hit ice and retire, so they driving at 90% can move up the leaderboard.
Monte gives them that opportunity!
