That was your view during day 1. 4th place, 19 seconds behind the leader and you had already decided that Ogier was having ‘a not so good rally’
In fact it would appear to be a perfectly judged rally. Quick to judge is usually slow to repent.

trying to change my words doesnt make you clever but a clown.I didnt ''judged'' Ogiers performance,i was saying what Tanak have to do,to get some points against Ogier and Neuville,because that at this point of rally was at better position against them.
thats not a ''judgement''
oh and Ogier was at 5th position with half minute from leader,not 19 sec from leaders.Get your facts right.

I would like no punctures clouding the issue ( although it’s not always just bad luck)the next time Loeb competes just to get fair comparisons

bad or good luck always will play a big role.
Ogier touched violently a bank with 6th gear and nothing happened.

Comparison is still not hard to get. The guest driver failed to manage his tyres in the morning loop. Cooked them in the first stage and then was sliding a lot mid-corner in the next two. Even though he had a pretty good starting position again.

My facts are right - at the time I posted I deliberately checked overall times on WRC Live centre. Anyway you are clearly grieving so I won’t trouble you further but kindly don’t reach for insults the moment you are in a debate - is this a general Greek habit or are we just unlucky on this forum?

first you write that i ''judged'' Ogier,and while you failed to quote me the post with the ''judgement'' you came back again with a post with full of bullshit about my country.

Thats why i called you a clown.
Next time be more carefull,and dont put words in my mouth that i didnt wrote.

Gentlemen, please don´t escalate. We should be friends sharing the same interest.

Dimviii, who I know personal, is a very friendly rallyfan.
And what I´ve seen Mintexmemory, you too contributes very much to this forum.

Let it be that way, please.

It seems to be a trend in the last few years in rally forums that the discussions get really heated. Sometimes it's fun to read but quite often it's just sad

I know it heatens up sometimes. I´m not an exception, myself. But still, arguing with a friendly tone is best way to remain friends.
