road position/stopping on stage
I noticed that the last thread on this ended with "mud slinging" at different nationalities, I don't want that, please lets be friends.
What I would like is a clarification on the WRC rules.
My understanding is that you can't deliberately stop on stage unless you have a problem, eg a puncture and the like. If this is true, then why wasn't Jari-Matti penalised in Turkey for doing exactly that, stopping on stage with no problem.
I was watching the coverage on Sunday (have to wait a week to get free-to-air TV coverage where I live) and I couldn't believe what I saw and heard, as Mikka actually said stop in english. I consider stopping on stage certainly stretching the rules to the maximum, border line cheating. But slowing down is in my opinion tatical. And in the TV coverage there was an interview with Loeb in which he implied that if he was in situation he would do the same.
