But I want to say that I am one more time impressed by what Mikko is showing.

I am most impressed by Latvala time's. Pitty he has problem in service. He can reach a good result. Two long day's left.

I was just comparing his pace to Marcus' and Loeb's.
I trust him. He is very impressive and he is proving that he is better than Henning (even in Norway!).
What I wanted to say is that I don't think he will be able to match Marcus pace tomorrow.
He is not equal with Marcus yet IMHO. But the truth is he is just behind now.
Mikko is very good.

Nah: Hirvonen is not as good as Bosse by far, those last seconds, which Bosse leads over him by, in almost every rally, means, except for talent: experience, experience and experience. Hirvonen is very good though, and I am impressed. Men en gång är ingen gång: två gånger är en gång gång.

Sure Mikko has still much to learn, but today he showed that he is on right way, the most important thing is that he leads by driving, not by someones missfortune, those are small things but gives confidense and shows Mikko that Loeb and Bosse eat same bread them too.
I belive this make some guys see him as a driver too, the same goes for Latvala quality stuff he also.Aja kovaa Pena.

Ok... There's one thing that is very important not only in a rally, but in life too. No matter how strong someone is, no matter how experienced they is, there's always someone younger, though with less experience, who comes and beats stars. That was with Gronholm (though he wasn't that young) when he just cam and won in Sweden in 2000. That happened with Solberg, when (still learning) he won in GB in 2002. That happened to Loeb, who won in Germany that year. There're situations when not those, who have more experience, win. And rally Norway is just on of these cases. Mikko is showing what he's capable of. And if there's any place for someone young and talented to beat Loeb in a direct fight, it must be here. And Mikko knows it. And he'll be pushing to the victory. As was said in HISTORY... there comes the time... when new heroes come...

anyway it's too early for team orders. On Sunday we'll see... I just hope that if it's a 1-2 ford that they Ford will not ask Mikko to let Marcus pass him. It would be a much more impressive win than Australia for Mikko.
