let's see how Neuville and Ogier fight each other on this one.
Damn director changing camera just when they started talking to the team
Neuville now 0,2 faster than Ogier on split 2
i heard he said steering temp alarm before the director cutQuote:

Loeb losing now to Ogier and Neuville
Neuville and Ogier just trading tenths all the way
Loeb cant keep up unfortunately when conditons the same
Pretty poor reliability record for Hyundai on rough rallies this year. 2 cars in Mexico and one here already.
Also interesting that Neuville is complaining about unstable car in rough sections which usually was their strength.
Loebs tyre choice with crossed mediums and hards wasnt right.Mediums totally destroyed.
But he has 2 brand new hards for the rest stages.
Tyres really died on Loeb car. And all second part of stage he never did a huge slide. All tight and seems on understeer style
at half of stage was equal with Neuville and Ogier,and faster from TanakQuote:

#WRC
Warning sign
UPDATE @OttTanak
: forced to retire on SS3 due to a steering issue which we will assess further once the car is back in service. #HMSGOfficial
Ott with 4 tyres tomorrow like last year?
with that kind of tyres - Loeb time on that stage is brilliant! But he ruined his all loop with that choiceQuote:

strangely wrong choice.Now the brand new hards will not get up to temp with such short stagesQuote:

i dont believe his retirement talks at all anymore
Doesn't have to do all day this time as there is a midday service, but then again he still has to go through the 38 km rough stageQuote:

i remember them being more rough
we have to wait for second pass
Loeb long one: 2med, 2hard. short one: 4 hard.... whyyyy?

why didnt you call him in the morning? :DQuote:
