It’s really weird to be honest. Two stages in a row he drops 2-3 seconds to Kalle and Evans with couple of last splits
But I have noticed this trend also on other rallies this year

Ogier looking good on splits
Good morning by Breen but the weather and SS3 & 4 have suited Tanak and his car.
Stage win for Tänak and back into the lead
Nice morning
Got to get to bed now... I've a long drive in the morning and there's heavy rain incoming.:(
Hope you guys enjoy the night.
Same here but only to wake up for the second loop ;)
Live championship standings Ott vs Kalle
Before rally -53
Now -36
Van Gisbergen looks pretty fast so far, it's not that common for circuit drivers to jump into rally and be on top after just few events, more so on gravel.
29 currently might have raised more alarm bells in Kalle's head!
I know its all hypothetical... , but even Ogier said the mentality between going into this event with a 50+ advantage instead of less than 50, would've altered his mindset. And this is from an 8time champ... , not a kid who has never won a title before and is in the process of chucking his car (and pts) off the road in the last few events.
Will be interesting to see if Kalle can keep a calm head and bring home a much needed result. He's easily got the talent, but the pressure is ever so slightly building....
Although the pressure would've been building a lot more if Mr Neuville was on the pace and in that lead group too, which would've potentially helped Tanak further.....
Lunch over time to go again
