Seems like a stage win for Thierry

Granted that probably won't happen, but Msport need to maximise every opportunity for their lead driver. Especially when Tanak, Neuville and Evans have had horror shows.

2nd or 3rd is hardly going to make a world of difference in PR. They aren't denying Seb a famous win, he will still be on the podium and everyone will know he checked in late to help his team mate/ Msport.

Don´t forget there´s a fight for 1st place as well...

Personally... I don't think he should in cold logical terms, but I think he will.

I am reconsidering my career as a WRC pundit.

Thierry mentioned that the LSD is not working correctly in the rear differential - lots of wheelspin on bumpy surfaces.

I think Loeb has conceded the win.
Making up that much time would require some pretty next-level pushing that would risk a crash. I think M-Sport will want the points for P2, and may have suggested he take it easy and secure 2nd.

Based on RC2 guys, powerstage will be a bit puncture-lottery as well. Rally is not over yet.
