And that's two-in-a-row for Ogier! Terrific drive!
Actualy Atkinson didn't do too bad in the end. Congrats to Ogier, excellent performance!
Standings:
1.) Ogier 74
2.) Loeb 43
3.) Hirvonen 30
4.) Sordo 27
5.) Ostberg 26
6.) Neuville 25
7.) Latvala 15
8.) Prokop 14
congratulations for Ogier and VW, without the bad luck for Latvala (and this time it was really bad luck) it could have been a double win very easy!
3:28 delay for hirvonen...what a shame for number1 driver in champions car...
bad luck also for östberg and novikov from pure speed at this rallye the best citroen pilot would have been 5th....i think that say´s all about strenght of Citroen World Rally Team these days...
Ogier-VW will dominate like Loeb-Citroen never did before. Especially since the road position rules changed last year to the current format from the previous of 2008-2011. So all it's left is where he and VW will clinch the titles mathematically and if and how many "home-run" wins they will do.
Final standings and congrats to Thierry!!

Yes, big shame, and it gets bigger when you imagine they could have got 1-3 today! On your own you can harm yourself more than anybody else can harm you!Quote:

I think Citroen may have now realised that it will be very hard for them to have another driver's championship, however I think they will be easily amused by the manufacteurs crown and I just wish Latvala puts it together for the rest of the year because if he does we might have an interesting battle. I can't imagine what that would feel like for Citroen, losing the manu for VW in their first year.
Congrats to Ogier and vw for the win.Mikko seems that he is nowhere near his pace like previous years.Dissapointing Sordo too.
Latvala dissapointing too,after the 1st day.
Ostberg not lucky,but definetely the driver who evolutes more.
Roll on Portugal.
My drivers and donkeys of the race:
Drivers: Ogier - perfect in every aspect; even pushed for victory in PS when 3+ mins and 40+ points ahead of Hirvo, something Loeb refused to do; Neuville - second consecutive steady drive, that's what he has to show this year!
Donkeys: Hirvo, Sordo (needless to explain); Prokop - even with DMACK he shouldn't have been firmly behind Block and Guerra IMO; M-sport for maintenance of Mad's car, MI too.
