Mads Östberg, reigning world champion in WRC2, barely led before today's first leg.
He lost the lead in Sardinia yesterday after receiving a one-minute extra time due to lost wheels on the transport route to the service.
When he fought his way back to the lead, the puncture became too much for the normally sympathetic Norwegian.
The map reader's name is Torstein Eriksen.
- I'm so fucking annoyed, everything happens all the time.
Damn shitty tires, says Östberg.
