SS16: Bozhane. 14.59km starts in 22 mins
Another mixed surface stage; Bozhane starts from a small town on a very narrow, rough gravel road. Organisers have put down a lot of fresh gravel here and in some places it’s about 30cms deep. The opening 8.6kms are on the gravel but there are many different grades, from small and smooth to very big sharp rough stones. Punctures could feature here if drivers aren't careful. Any road cleaning will be intermittent - with the deepest gravel sections not improving at all. The final 6km are on asphalt, with the same sort of bumpy, abrasive surface seen on Gocbeyli.

So its gonna be a mix of Ravishing Black and White for Kimi Raikkonen this season

Latvala: S***y feeling
- I have a little shitt*y feeling. It bugs me a lot, Latvala swore on the first service break.
- I tried to catch the boys by driving. I had no choices. I just had to go.
- We speeded into the first fast part. I had noted it so that I would go flat out. In the end of the straight the rear went loose and too wide. Then it touched the bank and the front went into the ditch. It stopped and rolled on the roof. It went to the bushes, Latvala said.
- The note was too optimistic, Latvala admitted.
- I got a small hole in the turbo-pipe and lost the pressure. That's why we had to drive really slow for four stages. We simply couldn't go faster.
- It's a long way to the points. The roads are quite raw. With the guys race in front you never know what is going to happen. You just have to drive in a sensible way yourself, Latvala said.

Kimi Räikkönen did what Kaj Lindström vaguely promised on Friday evening. Räikkönen caught Federico Villagra by driving and is now already 6th.
- Kimi drove well this morning. A good and relaxed drive. Just like the saying goes; when it feels that you aren't driving, you do best, Lindström praised on Saturday's first service break.
Räikkönen admitted that he had a good morning. He was only gutted because of one small mistake during the first stage.
- The car turned off in one intersection. We lost about 8 seconds but otherwise it's gone allright, Räikkönen said.
- Hopefully everything goes well in the afternoon and there's no mix-up, Räikkönen said.
Räikkönen has already caught Matthew Wilson and Villagra by driving. He won't catch Dani Sordo who is 5th.
- Truly not. They are so far away. We try to drive without mistakes. Let's see what happens. This is an okay place, Kimi told.

Hirvonen: Just like driving on soap tyres
Mikko Hirvonen's Saturday morning was difficult. The two first stages were okay but the 3rd and 4th stages gave him grey hair.
- On the 3rd stage I didn't trust the notes at all. The organisers were smart and sweeped the road after noting and made some banks in many places. I had a too tough note in many places. The note wasn't nearly where it should have been, Hirvonen swore.
- The last stage just went badly. The guys went really fast.
- Ogier is driving really great. We still have all the chances. We have to go hard. No worries yet.
- Something is now wrong. Some broken bearing or then some rock blocks some bearing. It keeps an awful noise. It goes against you all the time. We have to check it in service, Hirvonen said.
- The tarmac roads were fuc*king slippery. On the first stage there was about 2 km tarmac. It was like driving with soap tyres. No grip. Insanely slippery. If it has rained on other tarmac-stages it's going to be a wee bit interesting.

Re: Rally of Turkey 2010
I feel really bad about Ogier, but a little bit pleased that no one will be sweeping the road for Loeb tomorrow.
