We lost only 0,5 seconds per kilometre to Loeb who was the fastest on that stage. We made a fatal error on stage six. The microphone of Miikka\u00b4s helmet jumped up and I only heard a part of the notes. I was stupid and didn\u00b4t understand to slow down. When I heard the rest of the notes I started to brake, but there was sand on the road and the car slid. I tried to get a grip but there were rocks in the inner curve and they hit the steering so hard that I broke my thumb. The car rose on two wheels, I lost control and we hit the trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My best rally ever ended the same way so many other \u2013 not to mention good \u2013 drivers have ended theirs \u2013 driving off the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>retirement SS6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ford Focus WRC 04<br>Team: Stobart Motorsport<br>Rally engineer Asko Kosonen<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"979\" height=\"636\" data-id=\"15517\" src=\"https:\/\/latvalamotorsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/04\/1.07042006-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/latvalamotorsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/04\/1.07042006-1.jpg 979w, https:\/\/latvalamotorsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/04\/1.07042006-1-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/latvalamotorsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/04\/1.07042006-1-768x499.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 979px) 100vw, 979px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"868\" height=\"579\" data-id=\"15519\" src=\"https:\/\/latvalamotorsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/04\/2.07042006-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/latvalamotorsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/04\/2.07042006-1.jpg 868w, https:\/\/latvalamotorsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/04\/2.07042006-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/latvalamotorsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/04\/2.07042006-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 868px) 100vw, 868px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Co-driver: Miikka Anttila I continued the same speed as in Catalunya.
