Don't see any reason for it. He was 5-6 in passes 2-3 with Hyundais being clearly fastest.
Looking on Shakedown times 1st pass often doesn't mean that much cause some drivers just try to check out the stage not risking anything, similarly passes over 3rd are imo very biased by knowing every single corner and taking more daring lines than you would not take in a stage.
how are road conditions for friday? any road cleaning?

Ogier
"There may not be any objective reason for this, it has often been a very small thing, so I'm not worried about it at all. Previous years, leaving before, I was necessarily not in the best position. We are going again in front of the first day, I hope that the rain will have somewhat reduced the sweeping phenomenon, "Sébastien Ogier pointed out to our microphone.
The world champion also confirms the general impression of the peloton: "The rally is going to be very demanding for the cars, the Shakedown was in a broken state, it was survival, it is not very fun to drive in Such conditions. "
Leader of the current championship, the 33-year-old Frenchman knows music. "I do not think it's a lot of the risk, but I think it's a lot of the lottery," he said. Some specials, I think, will have to lift a little foot in the brittle portions, "he analyzed at the micro of our colleague Olivier Gaspard, special envoy of the RTBF in Argentina.
Before concluding, on the final podium of the Argentine test. "There are a lot of drivers that are fast this season, especially since other parameters are taken into account on this course, I hope to be in any case," he said. Said the Ford driver.
Gilsoul
"The field is very rugged in Argentina, it's actually the most difficult test for the mechanics because the terrain is destroyed, it seems like a little bit in Kenya in places, but the winner of the rally will not necessarily be the The speed of the car, when it is possible, and the car when it is necessary. The body is sometimes touched but it is make-up, it is just for laughter. The vital organs: we must be sure that they will pass through. This is the first year of cars, some parts have been reviewed, "explained Nicolas Gilsoul, co-driver of Thierry Neuville at Hyundai, on the microphone of our colleague Olivier Gaspard, special envoy of the RTBF in Argentina.
The Belgian crew never managed to catch better than fifth place on the Argentinian roads: "We were perhaps lacking a little wisdom and maturity, but we have grown well and we want to reverse this trend. We want to do the best possible operation at the level of the general, without focusing on victory. It's better to be a living chick than a dead hero
Judging by reliability so far, I'm guessing Toyota will benefit from the fall of at least one Fiesta and one C3.
