Just saw this on Twitter, I hope it's true!

'' If Meeke's times are slower, it's due to the fact he's going round the roundabout twice instead of once like everyone else. Crowds love it!!'

Cracking first few stages from Ostberg and Kubica

[Pwig]

Feel a bit sorry for Bobby K. Two punctures in the same stage!

[RyanTank]

lots of chatter about the stages being really rough, and it shows with the amount of punctures. Mads swears he had a clean run but still picked up a puncture and drove 13k on the knackered tyre.

With no mid day service, just a minor tyres/fuel style mid point service, its going to be interesting 2nd passes through the stages if their that rough already!!

[Allyc85]

Ogier leading after the gravel day is pretty ominous, rekon he will sprint away from the field tomorrow.

Subdued days from Meeke and Evans. Pretty sure Kris will pass Ostberg though, who is usually awful on tar. Not sure where I read it, but someone pointed out that Msport only seem to have one quick car, and once again it seems to be the case. Weird.

Jml loses a minute with a puncture...

Breen out with a broken diff, that 208 r5 is a hateful piece of st!

Ogier bins it on the Power Stage, Mikkelsen wins his first rally!!

[Alex Langheck]

Well done to Andreas & Ola on their 1st WRC win; lost Rally Sweden to Ogier in the last stage, so to win today on the last stage is quite ironic......

However, it will take more of this unpredictability for the WRC to get really interesting, especially for the general Motorsport fan. At the moment you're lucky if you get a dozen comments on a WRC event.

[Pwig]

What an exciting end to the WRC!

[marcosgt]

Wow, didn't see that coming!

I always record the highlights of each day and after day 2, it was a case of watching the battle for 2nd, seeing it go to Mikkelsen on the final stage with a great performance.

Switch back to Ogier showing both his team-mates that they're really not getting the best out of the car by winning the Powerstage as well as the event and...

At least we know he's human now!
