The Alien, master strategist, decides to help his mate. What does he do? He let the boys go up front and they have hard time with the navigation. They are all a bit lost. Chaleco is one of them, he loses time. In the meantime he tells Caselli to slowdown, and explain to him wtf is happening.

Faria, with the broken rim gets to be 2nd in the special, and gains 3 minutes on Chaleco.

Well done Cyril, muddyboy
I've just forgot all the mud situation.

That's pretty cool.
Where did you scoop that?

Wishful thinking I reckon. I wish I'd done what I said I'd do and put $1000 on Despres before this rally started. I was going to do it as soon as I heard Coma was out, saw odds of 3.5-1 still! But didn't want to risk the engagement ring fund.
Silly me.

I got an anonymous PM stating that Ruben Faria, Andrei Karginov and Luis Belaustegui have signed at the Red Bull Repsol Jingcheng factory team and will race the complete 2013 championship.

Anyone know what's happening to Thomas Berglund?

EDIT: Found the answer on his website. Apparently his engine seized on km 122, and he's out:-(

That's a shame. Was watching the timing hoping he'd move again. Always seemed like a good fellow.
