It's not just about You see splits or not, it is the whole package of a driver approaching his own rally. But my comment anyway was mostly the disappointment of some other challengers, namely Meeke and Neuville. I don't know what the problem with Neuville was today though. Mikkelsen was also little trying too hard and had another suspension damage, he has enough experience with this rally so it is pure driving error. Probably Latvala's mistake was not so big, but lost some precious seconds, it is a pity, I was expecting good fight tomorrow with Ogier.
