The Quitter did what he could but it's not the same anymore, new talented drivers and strong independent teams have arisen.

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!

Very good post, and a great rally. I can't remember the last time at any point there were four drivers chasing the lead. (Except after the opening SSS ;) )
I used to get really bored of Tarmac events very quickly, but here and Germany (and possibly Sweden) have been probably the best events of the year, IMO.

you must speak less and listen to me more. yesterday evening I told you who will and who wont win the rally.

The next years neuville will be a very fast driver in every surface,his speed will be close to ogiers and i believe that he will beat him in some rallies,espessially in tarmac events(maybe he will even lose a championship by thierry).So dont worry he will have a very capable driver to compete the next years and by that way his championsips will have great value.Seb had two years marcus for opponent(2006-2007) and all the other years miko.Ogier will have thierry(and thierry has this performance so far without big wrc experience-imagine what will happen fron next year).The conclusions are yours!!!!So dont wast your time by saying that ogiers titles will have the same value as loebs.

The truth is different for everyone, especially for dedicated Loeb fans, I can understand it, but for me Ogier last 2 days showed what is it about, period.

couldn t listen you because last 78 times you was wrong. ;)

dont forget your pills.

Not exactly on the topic of Rally France, but according to Top Gear's interview with Seb Loeb, the Master is still able do a backflip :)

when did he do that... i can only remember spain a few years back.

the quitter did just enough to keep the pain coming...but now its over... the sooner you will forget about it the better for you. He put his mark in a whole era...

he literally WAS the sport all these years and the people reactions on this rally shows that, even you spent more time addressing him than the driver you admire..

he came this year with minimal testing lost 2 won 2 and was never dominated against a younger driver with a better team with a huge budget... how many people have done that in the past ? NONE... It is ok to hate someone after he has done so much to you... all these years of wins and records and humiliations just slowly carved his name on your soul... the huge pain is over he cannot put any more hurt on you.... but sometimes now and then the nightmare will flash back...it is normal. it may actually never heal but you should not believe what they say....you are strong i believe in you.
