Rallye Deutschland 2014

Kubica stopped in stage?

[Eli]

Sordo pissed off at running behind privateers, Melicharek Protasov etc.: "It's incredible, the corners are so muddy and slippery. I cannot start in these f***ing conditions! Here we are fighting to do something good but we cannot do it behind these cars."

Why is he seeded so far down?

because he's last in the championship, mind you, he's yet to finish in the points this year. (or a rally for that matter)

Another off for Robert Kubica, moving again but not at full speed

[wwbroe]

Another disappointing time for Bouffier.

Edit: he is complaining a little bit about having a gravel gearbox, so loosing too much time in the technical sections

Game on though! As for the start order, I think Sordo would be a lot closer if not stuck behind Melicharek. There should be a 110% rule applied in s/d to deal with such entries. I'll never forgive him for precipitating the scrapping of the second Turini stage this year (bad memories of standing in pouring rain for 6 hours only to see a drive through!)

Kubica loosing about 4 min after his crash.

First of all Sordo is not running behind Melichárek but behind Protasov and second he has so far never got even cose to his rear wing. They start with two minutes gap and so far even one minute would be enough.

I don't know if you can blame Melicharek himself for Turini entirely! I'm sure Sordo would be faster, but Neuville has been saying the Hyundai is not at the rally-winning stage of development yet so I doubt we'd see him fighting with Latvala and Ogier today as he could in the Citroen.

[kirungi okwogera]

Then again, good time for Sordo on this stage!

[Doon]

If Meeke holds position today, running 3rd on the road tomorrow he should be quick far quicker. Mind you they are in Baumholder tomorrow, where I doubt as much cutting goes on!!

Anyway, good to see he's taking a decent amount of time out of his team mate.
