Irish guys have done real Monte surprise. I don't know what they are complaining.. which is better to be on black ice with slick or with soft tarmac tires on very wet tarmac.

It firstly was the Tyres, then it was snow, now the water on the road, please Loeb stay home instead of annoying the rally fans. Go to Le Mans, have fun with Petter over there, we don´t need this kind of drivers anymore in Rally. :rolleyes:

Was Sordo on different ones than Loeb? It seems that Loeb, Atkinson and Ogier didn't got it in that stage. Reutenbach on the contrary, is quick to his relative level. He possibly have same tyre with Ford drivers.

If someone know info about tyre choisec I am greatful to receive.

I have always thought that Ogier is very good on gravel and snow and bit average on tarmac. He got most of his advantage in Monte while driving on pure snow.

Will these snow tyres last for two more stages?

At least Loeb has to put some catching effort. That could be entertaining..

I don't think he set one fastest time on the Monte - he just didn't make any mistakes, and was left in the lead.

There is not much heat.. there are a lot of water on the road.. there is no studs. I don't see a problem if the conditions stay the same.

Do you remember Wales Rally GB?

Ogier drove a very steady rally on Monte, but only won one stage.

He won only one stage. The first stage on third day. It was his home road and under very thick snow cover.

According to site there is:

- Gravel tyres! (Loeb reportedly with them)
- Snow tyres (Latvala, Aava, Reutenbach)
- Wet tyres (Hirvonen)
- Rain tyres (H. Solberg)

It's not reported on what tyres Atkinson and Sordo are. I guess Atkinson have same tyres as Loeb but not sure about Sordo, has he wets or gravel ones?

Obviously "rain tyre" and "wet tyre" should be indentified with each other.

And you got this sophisticated analysis based on only one stage, run with (probably) wrong tyres?

No! I have followed his career in WRC, JWRC, IRC and have noticed that.

Gravel tyres are definitely not allowed on tarmac rallies! Only snow tyres here in Ireland because of weather conditions!
