Maurin should have arrived but has not and Ogier has not seen him.

This one is very Latvala-like. In a couple of stages more he would have forgotten the "drive carefully" orders
He still has to improve a lot on gravel, but I think Neuville has what's needed.

The radio has changed its music offer this year, the songs are different
Is that also because of the NOS thing?

[Mar]

Becks thinks Jari Matti could have had some problem.
It seems he rolled

[Mar]

They think both crew are ok but rally is over for them

[Mar]

Mikko says he broke a brake disc in a touch with a wall in SS3.

He has lost 1:29.6 with Loeb in this stage

[Mar]

Petter 53.4 seconds slower than Loeb

[Mar]

Dani +42.3 and finishes the leg 2nd in the overall classification, 1 second in front of Petter (who is third at the moment)

[luieluv]

sad for JML...

[Mar]

Tänak +1:10.4

A bit off-topic but if it's confirmed that Peugeot has pulled out of all the endurance racing (the news just broke in and it's not clear if it's the 24 hours or all the endurance what they won't do), then it would make sense why PSA took Quesnel away from the rallying section and relegated him to the endurance area. The rumours were from the beginning that PSA wanted to get rid of him and this was a very elegant way of doing it

Last week, in the printed version of Autosport, there was an interview with Loeb and he didn't want to talk about Quesnel but the writer of the article hinted Quesnel had been actively favouring Ogier.

Neuville is out! Dammit!
