Quote
WRC - Germany: Tanak has lost seventh with his trouble on that stage. It seems it was caused by a faulty starter motor. The off didn't cause that much time loss, but not being able to start the car did.
"We went off near the beginning of the stage. We got back on the road but we had a problem with the starter motor."

WRC - Germany: Latvala ends up 15.3s adrift of Ogier and that nearly doubles the deficit between the two overall. 32.3s is the new gap.
Latvala is understandably bewildered as he thought he had a really good run through there and he's still some way off Ogier's effort.
"I'm surprised with that time, I thought we had a good run. I have no answers."

WRC - Germany: Ogier is over the moon and rightly so. That may be one of his best performances of the year so far and may make everybody else want to give up and go home!
"I had a really good stage. I found a nice setup, tyres. Even at the end of the stage I could still push."

WRC - Germany: Tanak is back moving again so hopefully the shunt isn't too bad.
Crash
WRC - Germany: Not much information, but reports from the stage is that Tanak is off. He and Raigo Molder are OK.

Bernstorff is currently second.

WRC - Germany: Scratch that, Ogier can have his own postcode back. Meeke is 6.4s down in the second split having been 0.4s UP in the first split.
WRC - Germany: The only person in the same postcode as Sebastien Ogier at the minute is Kris Meeke, but we only have his first split so far.
WRC - Germany: Latvala has dropped 3.2s in the latest split to come through, making the net loss 8.3s on the stage so far. Only one split remaining.

WRC - Germany: Latvala pulled back 0.2s through the second split, but loses 0.5s in the third.
However, an alarmingly brilliant split has just come in, and it's Meeke!
He's the first man quicker than Ogier on this stage so far today. It's only 0.4s, but still, beating Ogier through any split on this stage has proved impossible thus far.

WRC - Germany: Mikkelsen gets the closest to Ogier throuh the first split so far. 2.1s is the gap.
WRC - Germany: Ostberg is 3.5s behind at the first split, so he's quicker than Latvala. Poor split for the Finn by the looks of it.
