Re: Rally Sweden 2014
Glad to see JML win and taking advantage of Ogier's mistake. Hope it gives him the confidence to fight for the title.
Also finally a result from Mikkelsen, showing some real speed and agression, at least in the first 2 days.
Ostberg deserves a lot of praise too, getting close to 2nd place and winning the PS while still only on his 2nd event in the DS3.
Disappointing final day for the Brits but a great learning experience for both... and well done to Breen actually beating both of them on his WRC car debut !!#M-SPORTER

Re: Rally Sweden 2014
Congrats Latvala proving that you must finish the rally for win. But, we all know speedwise Ogier was miles ahead him on his favourite rally. So, no boost for his selfconfidence I'm afraid. It is so very rewarding for an athlete to know he is best of the rest
What is more interesting, is that has Ogier's selfconfidence reached the top, finally. Shall he make mistakes more or must he slow the speed a bit in the future?Another Flying Finn

Re: Rally Sweden 2014
Good job by Andreas. I was waiting for this rally to see what he can do and he positively surprised me a bit. Östberg also seems to have quite good boogie in Citroen, lets wait for the gravel rallies... Tidemand was much slower compared to last year, a small disappointment. Evans delivered less than I expected as did Hänninen. Tänak did phenominal job, especially on first day.

What a day for Norwegians! 2 podiums in Sweden WRC, 4 podiums in Winter Olympics, including gold for Ole The Great and Marit Bjørgen.
Congrats!

Re: Rally Sweden 2014
I was expecting more from Tidemand too. Suprisingly, Tanäk was the one delivered ops:

Re: Rally Sweden 2014
I can understand your disappointment for Tidemand. But if you were just a bit more professional in your judgements you wouldn´t say that.
Many things played a role. He had much testing in totally different conditions in an other car. He then wanted same setup in the car M-Sport delivered and got it, but the very different conditions in RS made his setup not working at all. And everyone driving a rallycar knows what it means when you don´t trust the performance of the car.
Thus that he´d done a clean run and fighted on. Last leg today he got a rear diff which he might should have had all weekend and the times where far better.
Remmber this was his second rally in a WRC car.
As said he didn´t do any mistakes and being 7th in this competition and very difficult rally is something Tidemand did a good job."Reis vas pät pat kaar vas kut"

Almost all Finn's since Paavo Nurmi who are fast in their sport have been called "Flying", particularly the 1960's rally drivers, but I was actually thinking of "Flying Finnish" - the timing line at...
