    Well done to Tanak, not only a finish (for a change), but he seemed to keep the car intact and convincingly beat his competitors.

    Shame about VW making the Citroen years look like a competitive period, with a variety of winning manufacturers. How many in a row is this now?

    I don't see why it was mistake? Nothing much changed in the results, but if the driver is happier with current co-driver, how is it a mistake?

    Ola Floene was Mikkelsens codriver, and he was replaced by Markkula. That is what he refers to as the mistake. Since Floene returns Mikkelsen has gone well.

    I don't know if it was already mentioned here, but Argentine Juan Alonso complained about having his car damaged on the stage by pieces of metal deliberately positioned on the road. They hit the radiator and he was forced to retire from Saturday's leg.

    Also on Rallynoticias.com it is stated that in Italy he was also 'attacked', when rocks were thrown on the road right before his pass, and the other competitors before him didn't see them.
