The Master-we will never forget you, but the fact, that he made a five months pause (even longer on a tarmac ) shows that he lost his sharpness, his speed, yes speed!!Remember comeback of Gronholm-disaster !. With Loeb's previous speed he would not have to deal with Neuville, Sordo, JML, Ogi; with all the respect to them. Loeb gambled a lot entering this rally. And the gamble didn't paid off, sorry....It will always be a black mark on his immaculate career. But the decision was his...and I (we) must respect this. A lot of luck in WTCC, the Master.
Sordo has met the expectations, with a bit of luck he might win in Spain. The same goes for Neuville. JML didn't make any mistake, he (and the team) should already open a bottle of champagne for this ''effort''.
Mads, Evgeny and Mikko: losers.
At the end-as already many times this season: thank god for Robert Kubica. No mistake in very heavy conditions, he is an alien for other guys in WRC2 (except Evans).
So, not my kind of a rally or better say the final result is not according to my expectations, but life is going on and I have to find a new ''hero''.
Again, goodbye Mr. Loeb.
the people around loebs wreck were more than around the champion... it a pity because Ogier is trully a step above everyone but he has the ugly role now to lead an era with just one champion...all the rest of his rivals are unproven stray dogs.Quote:

What an experience, I still can't find words to properly describe the excitement of this rally. Great live footage, multiple drivers fighting for the victory, exchanging positions all the time without crucial tyre gambles, technical troubles or team orders and ultimately the best in the world deservedly won.
Ogier had some problems in the first day but managed to limit the damage so in the beginnings of 2nd and 3rd he got what he needed, like a real master.
Sordo did all he can and to finish first after Ogier is realistically said the best possible result. And hopefully he didn't need to slow down for "somebody else" this time, unlike some occasions in the past.
JML was unbelievable, I didn't watch Germany but this time he was like Basso or Makinen, so clean and precise. I hope he keeps this level in Spain and why not beat Sordo this time.
Thierry again very impressive, okay he pushed his luck and escaped many close moments but hopefully at the end he got away easily. His time will come that's for sure!
The Quitter did what he could but it's not the same anymore, new talented drivers and strong independent teams have arisen.
