Well, Block started the harvest during testing LOL! he took a few trees in that off, I think the video of that crash is in page 8 of this thread

I suspect JML backed off to avoid drowning out in the water splash. Lets see what SS7 brings ;)

Looks like problems... at split 4 +17secs

Latvala probably a spin or a small off... Solberg must take advantage of that and push Loeb to the maximum to make him abandon his chances and take risks...lets see....

Latvala losing time on 5th split as well....probably a puncture ?

Brutal :( he was so impressive today.

Though Petter and his 'gearbox problem' look like they'll slide into the perfect position for tomorrow.

Im a JML and a Ford man but i agree 100% with ya petter for the win and boy if any man deserves he does

The demise of JML means that Solberg has 1 less rival for the win, prehaps this could be his lucky rally. :cool:

Ohhh for ff...! Damnit! JML very unlucky. :(

Though... If he wants, he could now start an unimaginable attack because it's pretty much the same does he recover or crash. Knowing JML... ;)

Yes, pity about Latvala. It would have been nice to see that fourway battle continue.

Not a very good day for you finns, eh? Latvala off (and believe me I am not gloating about that), and your "new" star Ketomaa absolutely being trashed by 10 year younger Andreas Mikkelsen. 32 seconds now... Only consolation is that Brynildsen is now ahead of Pons, by quite a safe margin actually. If it stays like this Ketomaa will get the title even if Mikkelsen is miles ahead.

Does Mikkelsen takes 25 points, if he wins the category?

Good question, I don`t know really. Maybe someone else can enlighten us.

So, exactly what happend. This is the reason why I find this championship less interesting. It's a pitty for ford and JML, but ford is to blaim.

No fingers crossed for Solberg: last WRCar victory for a privat team would be awesome and this guy really deserves it!

Weather for tomorrow: Rain showers overnight, wind still quite strong but much weaker than today, between 10-15 m/s. Temperature a bit lower (between 5..10 degrees in Celsius).

Morning: Some rain just before the start of the day, then some better weather
afternoon: looks pretty similar to today, only less wind and rain-showers frequency increases a bit later.

Yes, Mikkelsen collects 25 points. He is driving under Czech National Ford Team and it is their last nominated rally. Team can change driver as much as they like. remember, Andersson was also collecting points with one team and got excluded only when his team didnt appear to the start in Japan. Better story is that he is collecting points for Czech National Ford team with Skoda ;-) if he gets maximum points, then they still have a chance for title ;-)
