Petter had a puncture on SS2, is about 1:25 mins behind the leader now :(

Latvala in the lead now by -2.2 but Loeb was fast on SS4

Disaster for Ford :(

JM lost 1:30 on stage 5 :( Broken front suspension :(

Rally radio is useless, they are reading other people's tweets to tell listeners what is going on :roll::

Oh! I missed all the action (I was in the hairdresser :blush: )

A pity for the Fords.

Why are the guys of the radio talking about somebody throwing a stone? What has happened? BTW, the guy of the radio is Neil?

I think a fan threw a rock and hit Neuville's windshield.

I missed the stage action this morning. Coverage was that bad?

From motorstv: "SS9 HAS BEEN CANCELLED ON SAFETY GROUNDS. Earlier, spectators threw stones at the cars.The windscreen on Thierry Neuville's Citroen was hit by stone at speed."

Very good idea to cancel it.

Neuville's pace is ridiculous.

JML fightback?!

Tänak just admitted on the radio that he took yesterday a 10 seconds penalty on purpose in order to have Petter getting a better road position today. Arg!!!!!!!!!!!!

Latvala can't catch Hirvonen, he is too far from him and Loeb, and Hirvonen can't catch Loeb, because Sebastian started to drive. He said: "Hirvonen came so close, that I had to start drive seriously". Unless of course some mishaps occur :huh: which I hope NOT.

Latvala in trouble again, he is losing time. A tyre?

EDIT: yes, a tyre
