Sebastien might think about it next time...Grönholm and Ford took maximum advantage of the Citroën driver's absence in Turkey. Rally of Turkey result: 1. Marcus Gronholm (Fin) Ford 3:28:16.300 2. Mikko Hirvonen (Fin) Ford +02:23.400 3. Henning Solberg (Nor) Peugeot 03:06.000 4. Xavier Pons (Spa) Citroen 03:27.400 5. Kosti Katajamaki (Fin) Ford 03:28.500 6. Chris Atkinson (Aus) Subaru 03:36.500 7. Daniel Sordo (Spa) Citroen 04:24.800 8. Manfred Stohl (Aut) Peugeot 04:30.300 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/world_rally/6052646.stm
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/world_rally/6094498.stm Gronholm crashed in Australia, but is running seventh now. He needs to finish fourth or better to have a mathematical chance to catch Loeb for the championship.
Loeb could be World champ while scratching his boys... In a way, an useful reminder to always kill the opposition while you can.
Are you suggesting that Loeb is going to put a special gift under Gronholm's Christmas tree this year? A mountain bike!!!
