Now, time to see whether JML can pull any time back...
Ogier stopped?
Ogier isn't moving for some time in WRC + maps
Ogier off road !!!
Ogier off! And moving again...
Now he's going to push like mad for the rest of the race, if the car holds till service.
Wow... Interesting to see how bad it is...
Ogier off, now on a wrong road (not stage, possibly dropped to some other access road)... O-ou!
He is standig still again
hopefully there will be an onboard for this stage
Looks like stopped for good.
Like we discussed a few months ago, Ogier has the ocasional mistake per season, here it is.
Are they late?
Wrong road? Wouldn't want to be Ingrassia right now. Looks like it was an off that left them on another road and not a bad turn, though.
Interesting drama
Let's see how Latvala can manage :-)
This might become an iteresting rally, just like last year.
Now let it rain!!!
Not you, but somebody here swore that he didn't take risks....... : )Quote:

Wouldn't it be better for him to just Rally2, surely he'd lose less time that way?
So what exactly happened? In a Vineyard looking for a gate or up the access road?
What the hell!
I am away for half an hour trying to be a family man eating dinner with my girlfriend and our little daughter (1yo, future WRC Champ;)), and THIS happens!!!
I have seen som estressed tendences in Ogier latlely, but this I did not predict.
But as we discussed, Ogier is much more affected by stress than Loeb, but this I did not expect. Wow!
I am very sorry for Ogier (never good that any diver goes off), and now this rally is on full time.
This will affect the other drivers that now are a lot closer to the podium, they also know that Ogier most probably will not be the last casualty of this rally.
Hope Ogier can restart tomorrow, he will be charging!
Wait till tomorrow...Quote:

He is on the main road now, he went from road that he was on after crash down the vineyards to main road, but not on special stage.
Could this be the first pure tarmac win for a finnish driver since Mäkinen in Sanremo 1999? (if my memory serves me right, and not counting ice/tarmac in Monte)
Second best time for Meeke, just in front of Mikkelsen.
OK, thanks.
JML has not yet won. But should he do it, yes, it would be I think.Quote:

so what's gonna happen with Ogier's time? 'cause i see he is using a different route now
Lundefaret!
You are spot on judging Ogiers driving style. I admit that!
WoW! this is going to be mad. unless Ogier not taking in 5 mins on an lunetic drive two days ahead...?
pure tarmac but as for tarmac itself, Gronholm was the last Finn to win back in monte 2006Quote:

Neuville's car melting?
He has fund his way to the main road leading from the vineyard. Looks like he's heading straight back to the service area. He'll collect a five minute penalty for retiring.
clever, less time loss than 10 minutes, 5 minutes in 2 days, in this rally very possible, he is very lucky that it happend to him on the final stage of the day
Might easily get up to 10th and score, and that's if everyones reaches the finish without problems, which is highly unlikely. And then there is the power stage.Quote:

Ogier should get into good points position in the next 2 days...
He is no Loeb.
Edit: If it is 10 minutes it should be interesting....
