Yeah and Ford(Hirvonen) failed to put Hirvonen in front of Loeb despite Loeb beeing 1st car in the road. Hirvonen said it goes to top2 at his fails all time.
Loeb has told to French media already that he has 2 days to beat the Ford´s so I guess he doesnt want to be the 1st car on the road for Sunday and he doesnt need to.
The days are far when in the 80´s and still at the end of 90´s it was a honor to lead the rally after days and be the first car on the road. No one wasnt moaning,even when them knew to lose time.

That was really interesting. Huge mistake by Hirvonen. I think Loeb knows that if he just drives, it will be: 1. Loeb 2. Latvala +2sec 3. Hirvonen +4sec Now if Loeb wants to win, he has to go for it. Now if Latvala wants to win, he has to go for it. And if Hirvonen wants to win, he has to go for it too. Solberg is still in the hunt. Can Latvala hold his nerve and take the win? . Watching this rally is bringing back a lot of fond memories. We were standing where they were filming the tight left-right through the gate. Also saw several other places from the in-car footage where we were either spectating or had driven through. Very familiar scenery.

Loeb changing a flat in one minute, that is fast!
Petter's 3rd place looks really fragile when he has Loeb just 2.2 seconds behind him, but I still have hopes for Petter to reach a podium finish. Latvala and Hirvonen are eager to keep Loeb off the podium, but how will Latvala's nerves hold up on day 3?
Petter deserves a podium finish, he has worked really hard and demostrated that even an old car can still make the new ones break a sweat. The man deserves a manufacturer sponsord car.

Fair effort, took me about an hour, a lot of swearing and punching the roof of my car to change a tyre.
