[WRC] Rallye Monte Carlo 2022

Loeb didn’t make any mistakes that I saw this weekend whereas there were a few times Ogier was a bit fortunate. That helicopter shot on the right hander where he was exceptionally close to going off on the snowy section. Also some of his cuts were a bit whoa.

So for that reason I wasn’t surprised by the puncture.

Loeb you could argue had the sense to hold back where he wasn’t sure.

Interesting to note quite a bit of reference to Loeb being GOAT. Which is probably right.

ewrc-results is down for me at the moment... too many people went to check the results to see if they were dreaming or not?

The stage-end interview with Ogier where he indirectly blames Pirelli for the puncture. That was showing the big difference between Loeb and Ogier as human beings.

For me that is a reason why i always had prefered Loeb over Ogier.
Loeb always down to earth,never blaimed anybody,never moaning,and the biggest reason is that when he was loosing a rally never told excuses. He just said that this weekend Gronholm ,Ogier,Latvala etc was simply faster.

I think that now there can be no more doubt.

I like Ogier so I'm stepping into the shoes of others who say he likes to find excuses here.

"Seb, you jumped the start."
"Ah, there was a noise with the engine it distracted me"

While both are amazing drivers, only one of them is a gentleman... such a shame that one of the best drivers of all times had to be one of the whiniest as well.

I wonder what these comments would have looked like had Ogier not had that puncture.

"I always knew Ogier was the GOAT"
"There can be no more doubt!"
etc.
