If JML's face was anything to go by being second was not the plan! Saying he lacked fighting spirit is a pretty dumb thing to say when you've just been party to the boss's prediction coming true (especially when it had been meant as a kick up the Teemo!)Quote:

JML cant blame himself too much.. Meeke was inspired, had a better road position and was under no pressure to win.

How did you manage to make Finland look boring ? That requires some major skills kid.Quote:

Just came home from NRF this morning. Nice weekend, best rally in years. Good to meet many friends from this forum on the stages.
My only comments on drivers will be this:
Very good performande from Meeke. Surprising drive from Breen. Both drivers without pressure from start. Never the less - you canīt have good times whole rally without being brave and mature.
I think all other drivers (except for Lappi) in one way or another are dissapointed. Neuville might got groving confidence after PS win.
Tidemand showed sisu when he tried to get Suninen on last stage, but failing in the most common bend of the rally except from Kakaristo junction - the Vatanen one. You can go for it but not go 5 in an 3R. Tanak speed didnīt hold whole rally. Was kind of expected, but he is in Meeke mode he was two years ago.
Also disapointning for Bergkvist, having that irritating off first day. With a little help from spectators he could have driven rest of stages in semirace speed to get more experience. Marshalls did not think so. Showed quite god speed on some stages. He has to go on driving more rallies. Nice to hear heīll start in Germany.
Thanks! That's true, makes you have to be a bit creative in a few places but still stayed pretty safe i would say.Quote:
