So what probably happened was that they all had 6 new ones when they started. Mikkelsen decided not to use the two new spares today to save them for the last two day, others might have opted to use those spares today.

once more,if vw wanted to save tyres because of unpredictable weather/conditions for next 2 days,they would choose Ogier.Ogier for many different reasons,and not Mikkelsen.Both of them had the same gap to Tanak at stage 6.

It is very hard for a team to make these decisions when the drivers are out on the stages. Mostly these are drivers decisions, they choose what to do with the tyres they have onboard.

Which car is Bjorn Waldegard using? I heard he is zero car...

Well, it is general forecast for Hagfors. It looks different for stages:
Mostly the temperature on stages will be between 0 and +1, slight wet snow on first two stages and medium-strong wet snow for third stage. For Hafors, it might be rain (temperature +1..+2). Afrenoon stages should get heavy snow and heavy wet snow. Hagfors second run should also get some wet snow. For Karlstad, it will be either wet snow or rain.
It looks that there will be enough snow to cause trouble for the first cars on the road.
But it will be very close indeed.. Temperature is just between the border of snow and rain!

WTF? Did I just read that Mirek has been banned? Who on earth came up with that idea? He's the most knowledgably guy in here when it comes to rally, and is always helpful when somebody has a technical question.

Kruuda had broken driveshaft and spin at last stage.

Was banned or is still banned?
WAKE UP MODERATORS!

Apparently was. Unless he's been banned again.
