I can't get my head around how on earth they ran the stage (and especially given how short it was) without adequate control.

That has to be the most crapy SD of the whole year. About 20s of it are representative of the rally at the start), and those have people in stupid places. The mid part is much more rutted and twisty than the stages and the tarmac part has no turns, just tire chicanes.

That's a good point. I hope some of the WRC drivers would stand up and raise their concern. That could be heard and understood among these hooligans.

Loeb and Mikkelsen veery very close to a roll at Neuvilles place

Interested to see more drivers with right rear punctures. I'm convinced that jump where all the photographers congregate is pushing the tyres off the rim. Happened last year with Thierry I believe.

Totally agree.
