Loeb:
As you may have read since yesterday, we will not be putting in the nails this year. After discussions with the team, we decided not to go to Rally Sweden.
Thanks to them for understanding me. I tell you more in my column very quickly.
Loeb is lying & more PR, mknight ?

WTF are you talking about?
I was saying Adamo picked Breen over Mikkelsen for other reasons than just because he finished second 2 years ago (ref. press release).
Why Loeb didn't go and whether it was his own decision, Adamo's or "discussion", wasn't even the topic.

Finnish sites are showing much more gloomier situation. They say that during the daytime it will only go to minusdegrees on 4-6.2
Before that they predict plusdegrees and rain. I think there is trouble ahead, but if there is people who can get a rally done on hard weather is Rally Sweden Crew.
Was it 3.2 when they announce if the event will go ahead or not? Asking for personal reasons, I hope that they announce it in time so I can cancel my travelplans if they wont run.

There's no snowfall predicted, but I think frozen roads are enough, they can generate ice by watering the roads.

Insights from Kai Tarkiainen, clerk of the course of Rally Finland
- If there is no snow, the safety areas for the spectators must be thought over, because snow banks won't stop cars if they go off
- Similarly, drivers could cut more so the road comes "straighter" and "wider", but there could be stones in the ditches.

It is an interesting subject to think about. However last couple of years we've had more Rally Sweden's with very small snowbanks that don't stop a rally car either. Been to Sweden 6 times in the last 7 years, from my experience it's one of the safest WRC rallies.

Must have been something as he lost about 5 seconds during last 2 sections to Lappi.
