Gronholm wants a fight
A Peugeot victory on Rally Finland for either Marcus Gronholm or Harri Rovanpera now looks an odds-on favourite.
Gronholm leads after two days of competition, with his younger team mate 14 second back going into the final day. And world champion Gronholm wants a no-holds barred fight with Rovanpera over Sunday's three closing stages.
Gronholm has endured a miserable season thus far and his last win was on the Rally Australia last year so he is eager to fight all the way to win.
"I will go flat-out tomorrow," claimed Gronholm - and he's keen to settle the matter without the intervention of team orders. "Yes, why not?" He said. "I haven't been in a fight with anyone for about nine months now..."
Rovanpera is not sure who's favourite to win now. "There aren't so many favourites now," he said, "but Marcus is leading. I will try to push as hard tomorrow as I have this afternoon."
Asked if he expects orders, Rovanpera said: "Maybe, we will see where the third placed car is after the first two stages tomorrow, but I haven't been told anything yet."
