Bobby K level with Latvala after SS6. Madness.

Paddon went off twice on the one stage then got stuck in Kubicas dust. Stage 6 was awesome havent been to proper gravel stages until today.


Fair play to Kubica yes he bins it a lot but the guy has a lot of talent even with only one fully operational hand.

 

[Cess]

Meanwhile in Switzerland, Breen up to third, with 9 stages to go. Go on ya good thing! Beating Lappi to the ERC title would still take some sort of miracle, though.

he is to skoda what ogier is to VW

 

[Cess]

Lappi is talented. But that Peugeot 208 T16 R5 has had all manner of problems this season. Most of Abbring and Breen's DNFs have been mechanical. Total could've would've should've season. Yet Breen goes to Switzerland with an outside chance of glory and picks up a puncture on SS3. That sort of season!

 

[Graham]

ah he doing alright to be in 3rd after a puncture then in fairness

JML flying this morning, took all three stage wins. Ogier's lead down to 28s now

 

[cormac81]

Kubica is out according to rumours on stage.

 

[Graham]

a lot of thought in this livery lol

Even still i tip my hat to Boland, worth a few quid and just has fun, credit crunch hits so downgrades to grpN from WRC car rather than bankrupting himself doing what he cannot afford/justify

 

[Graham]

Meeke has come from 31st OA to 19th OA in just one stage lol

setting top 4 times per stage

 

[DC.]

Anyone have SS11 in Kubica bingo? lol

useless.

talk of him going to Citroen next year in a WRC/WTCC program.

 

[Sam.]

After Day 2. JML has a lot of catching up to do. 72km or so of stages tomorrow.

Meanwhile in the ERC, the champion will be a Skoda driver. It's between Lappi and Sepp Wiegand now.

Bonus picture of Chris Ingram flying in Valais:

and Lappi, from Andre Lavandinho

You were closest I think.

 

[cormac81]

Bit of a lost clause really but would love the decider to carry onto wales. Salou has been great so far for driver spotting, including mcgarrity who was in the pub tonight.

 

[Sam.]

Power stage on ESPN/WRC+ now.

 

[Sam.]

Ken Block enjoying the roundabout on this stage. Went round twice

Latvala pips Meeke to maximum power stage points Great comeback (of sorts) by Meeke, all told.

Latvala was absolutely flat out in that stage, loads of big cuts. I wonder if the FIA will say anything...

 

[Cess]

Didn't see it. Hope the FIA don't intervene. Big cuts are part of the spectacle for me.

 

[Neil Kirkpatrick]

Was never a fan of Latvala, this year changed it. Love his complete honesty and his fighting attitude. Unlucky :-(

 

[weeloaney]

Been an awesome weekend end for me, first proper wrc event, (apart from rally Ireland).

Was great to see proper wrc cars driven hard on gravel.

Was my first gravel ready and loved it the amount of dust threw up was unreal.

The white renault 5 in the slowly sideways was the car of the rally for me he was lightning it up everywhere.
