EDIT - Just saw Jonkka's post. No limit for the stages any more?
But in Sweden the average speeds the previous years were very fast as well

120 km/h average is not unusual in Sweden, and no problem re. the regulations. Actually Sweden is the second fastest rally in the WRC series.
Ouninpohja in Finland has topped 130 km/h for the whole stage - with a long stretch in the middle even a lot faster than that. FIA has deemed that too fast and accordingly Ouninpohja regretably is history.

Henning is trying to bite the gap to Hirvo
Solb still faster than teammate
and Sordo fastest after 1st split.

Sordo flying now!!

Thanks Iskald

Whoa Gigi -7 sec of Hirvonen in this one

Gigi faster than Hirvo 7secs???

Mikko and Hening have to push hard to keep Gigi behind them!!

H.Solberg lost 9 sec here, now only 6.9 sec between them, Hirvonen in danger too (only 8.5 sec ahead of Solberg). Great battle of the Fords :)
Reminds me of 2006 with the two Mitsu, but now we have 3 Fords and they're fighting for second place woooot :)

They report it has turned to a gravel rally.
So Sordo is coming up, and snowexperts are loosing their advantge.

It must be interesting to watch WRC in gravel with those snow tires on!
