Rally Sweden 2015

[WUff1]

Good rally for RK - fast, one stage win and without an off/accident, unfortunately with some other misluck during the rally

Very sorry for Mikkelsen. He could have broken another barrier by winning in Sweden. It is always good for the head to get the forst cut in your Gunstock!
Hopefully later in 2015.

but what a rally with 3 cars fighting for victory on the last stage, lets hope for more of those to come!

Was a good event, Mikelssen's time will come, not impossible he will beat Latvala this year.

Positives for me:

- Neuville in contention for win in an inferior car

- Decent drive by Kubica (he was a mess here last year iirc)

- Good debut for Abbring with little experience of the car or event.

Negatives:

- Disappointing drive by Tanak. The result wasn't bad but his times against Evans were not too impressive.

- Ostberg's sulking (at least Meeke blames himself and not the car)

- WRC2 turned out a bit boring after much hype

All in all a great rally. Lots of battles in the front and also in the mid-pack. Two of the battles (for the win and for 6th place) coming all the way to the last stage where small mistakes (Mikkelsen and Meeke) decided the final outcome...isn't this what everybody wants?

Sure, I would have liked for Mikkelsen or Neuville to win too (and don't worry, both of them will win a lot in the future), but nobody can seriously deny that Ogier didn't deserve and fight for this win as much as anybody. And just look at the reactions by the other drivers at the end of the stage to Ogier's time...they simply couldn't believe it. That is something that you don't see everyday.

Not disappointed that Ogier won on the last stage, I expected him to, but it was a shame to see him celebrating on the roof of the car before his team-mate Mikkelsen had even finished the stage.

Ogier has by far the best car of everybody driving there.

If vw builds 10 WRC engines there is always an engine which has just that little more then the other 9 engines. Who do you think has that engine in his car.

I have seen it happen in my race career also!!!

Man of Rally Sweden: Andreas Mikkelsen. Leads from Day 2, spins on final stage, gets out to congratulate Ogier. Sportsmanship.
