This stage was MAX speed. Would love to see this battle in stages.
so ogier and horvonen with punctures...i wonder if ogier will try to fight back. i hope he will!
Its worth mention also Mikelsen performance on this one. He also had puncture, but despite that beats Ostberg and sets equal time to Latvala!
Mikkelsen retired before the start of SS9.
Bad news :(
JML looks like he smells Mikko's blood!!
Bad news for @AMikkelsenRally: Suspension is damaged. He has to retire for the day and will restart under Rally2 regulations tomorrow
Mikkelsen hit a bridge on the previous stage and broke suspension
latvala stopped...
JML stopped, but on the move again.
Mikko stopped! WTF?!
Looks like Ogier will settle for 2nd
indeed :(
Citroen with Loeb is a good rival for VW, Hirvonen and Sordo at this moment is a mistake...
Novikov on Podium?
Jarmo calling on the team saying they have lost all the electrics, the engine keeps stopping.
Can you find better driver than Mikko for Citroen at this moment?Quote:

didnt really get it...he pushed and after a jump he landed in a hole and then?
Main issue is that i can't but this does not change the fact that Mikko is (how to say this) slow...Quote:

Expect Ogier to consolidate and win the PS - Can Evgeny count on JML hitting more trouble?
Is Citroen WRC main switch under the driver seat?
C2 had that there...drinking bottle was free and touched the main switch and cut the power...
They have one, they just need to convince him out of semi retirement...Quote:

It's just mental war. Then things start to go in Loeb's favor.
