We need to remember that Loeb also lost some time during the Friday because of technical issues.

Loeb didnt loose championship from anybody.Ogier lost.
Loeb beat Ogier with same car while cleaning ALL gravel rallies.
Loeb won championships against World Champions like Sainz,Mc Rae,Makkinen,Kankkunen,while at Ogiers era wasnt any World Champion.So Loeb had much stronger opposition not Ogier.
About different manufacturers Loeb just answered today if he was able to win with other car except citroen.
Even if he hadnt win today,why he had to change team when he had a good car/team/salary?
Its like to ask Ogier when competing at VW to change team.

I bet it was traumatizing seeing Loeb beating Mcrae in the same car..
i suggest therapy instead of creating stories about the greatness of Ogier winning championships against a bunch of nobodies...
Ogier is nothing... he was nothing and will be forgotten...
i cannot imagine this atmosphere will ever be recreated for Ogier even if his house is a few yards away

Don't agree with this one, Loeb before him didn't allow any other world champions, altough some were close, so kinda not Ogier's fault. I think overall if you really look at the details the competition was similar but they were both 1 level above their contemporaries.
For me the 1 doubt that remains is that Ogier won titles with more manufacturers. Other than that Loeb won with more generations of car (Xsara, C4, DS3, and now rally wins with C3 and Puma). And now in this direct fight where Ogier had all the advantages (knows the team, participated in developing the car, has recent form in WRC, had some rest) Loeb comes from finishing 2nd in the Dakar, takes a shower goes to a new team and is challenging him.
And there is a final plus for Loeb, that is not Ogier's negative but it's just that Loeb was first. Loeb changed the game, he had the efficient driving style, pragmatic championship approach and was fast on all surfaces. Each individual trait is not new but I think he was the first to have all of them.

Loeb vs Ogier - there are too many variables to compare who is better over all time, and for me it does not matter. They are both masters with their own way and own style, one likes more one style, another likes more another style.
This time in Monte is win for Loeb. We can have endless and pointless discussion "but Ogier had puncture", there are so many "if-s" in rally, that we can overlook all rallies and stages if we want. At the end, in the protocol, the winner is Loeb. Simple as that.
Like it was mentioned before - we just should be happy to be able to observe this battle between masters.
... and to be honest, after Monte, it gives taste for other rally wins and for entire championship - "you are the best after 2 kings". Yes, I know, that those kings would both be master everywhere and Monte is kind of home event for both. But still...
Hopefully Hyundai is also getting their problems kind of sorted and we will see more tight battles in the future.

Wonder if danos was in the car what the times would of been surely talking a few seconds per stage. Full commitment and trust in him. I don't think this would be a talking point Loeb would of easily had the win. But then we wouldn't of came to a final stage showdown and witness ogier choke under the pressure of having to attack Loeb a situation in his career I don't think he has ever found himself in. Really really wanting to beat another competitor and he choked
