Do we know what tyres Evans and Suarez had for SS10?

Suarez must be on nails 99,99999999%

What do you mean 'the long stage'?

the stage 9 which is 51km long

Giordano Quentin - Sarreaud Valentin "Suarez is crazy, he hit me under braking and pushed me off the stage. My codriver has a pain in the back now."

Onboard should be interesting....

That logic most certainly applies to final day or two if differences are so large that it's next to impossible to gain places by trying like a mad man. In those situations teams instruct their drivers just to reach finish.

This is nothing new, however. Richard Burns immortalized such tactics in 2001 when he became champion with just one win against three drivers with three wins. Consistency is the key, never throw away points that you're sure to gain over points that you're very unlikely to get by risking it all.

Yes on the last day, I concede you that jonkka, and this doesn't offends me, but when J M Latvala, to the arrival of the second stage of the rally said: "my goal is the top 5 for this rally", this is only the first day... And Jari Matti is a great driver with the best car and not a rookie in a poor team.

He knows very well can't beat Ogier here, behind his words he probably means "podium would be great result for me here".

Suarez passed Giordano, hitting him, and still 6th fastest, only 0,7s off Meeke's time!
Suarez showing his talent!

Giordano not really happy

I think it was more about tyres than talent...

[PLuto]

watch Suarez time,some 16,3 faster from Evans.
Malcolm dont like this.

This is nothing. Usual tyre gamble on Monte, this time says nothing. And I am sure that Malcolm is calm about it too.

History shows that JML has one 2nd place, one 5th place, one 12th, one 40th place and four retirements from past ten WRC editions of MC. That record doesn't make him a likely winner in this very specialized rally so he's clever by not trying too much.
