Yes but the power stages are run twice. Once as normal (the first run is a TV test so they also can get their positions correct) and then the final is the Power Stage LIVE. =) It's a re-run like any other stage! Australia was the same. I had no access to points to photograph in first run of stage so then on final run (Power Stage Live) I went to the end - so did some spectators - it wasn't really for Spectators more TV but european rounds its different!
Sordo is 1.0sec slower then Ogier SS21
Looks like Sordi is setteling for 2nd place and is Spain fully tarmac this year?
Part gravel day 1Quote:

Dont underestimate his capability on gravel either. Sordo went into the Loeb number 2 mindest - now he must be feeling good after Germany and France, mental attitude and self beleif counts a lotQuote:

Indeed, but not so far down that it becomes a handicap on the second run so he'll be in a very good position for Saturday on roads he knows as well as Loeb knows AlsaceQuote:
