the citroens are still faster than the fords, just as they have been for the last 5 years or so. the current pace of hirvonen proves that.

There is no need for team orders. I'll say Mikko wins this one.
Ford is making an great effort to cut team orders from the sport.
They suck so bad that Citroen doesn't need any orders.

Loeb will win if he doesn't get any problems. Mikko will slow down or take it a bit easy for the rest of the day.

Even though everyone is relaxing, wining a 16km by 18s from anyone is pretty impressive pace. If only Petter could do that from the very start to very end of a rally for once!

Not only they are relaxing, but while Solberg was napping in the ditch, others were chewing their tyres.

Petter has to cover 48 sec at 33 km stages.Will he?

Rally radio gave me a shout out... COOL! :)

Very true - if he doesn't win the Power Stage after all this he'll be furious I bet
