Good to see Cerny doing a bit better this weekend.
Another desaster for Julian Wagner - no luck this year for Austrian drivers at international outings.
The first leg of the rally was held in completely crazy weather and many lost huge time with spins or offs on the standing water. The second leg was basically only about a fight between Černý and Mareš for the third place. Černý finally showed good speed and took the third place. Pech was more or less only crusing after first few stages (Kopecký was only 5th on the first proper stage but quickly destroyed everyone on following stages; by the way Firla with R2 was 3rd fastest on that crazy stage).
1. Kopecký (Fabia R5) 1:32:33,5
2. Pech (Fiesta R5) +1:56,5
3. Černý (Fiesta R5) +2:30,0
4. Mareš (Fabia R5) +2:37,0
5. Štajf (Fabia R5) +4:09,7
6. Dohnal (Focus WRC) +4:29,4
7. Jakeš (Fabia S2000) +6:01,7
8. Odložilík (Fiesta R5) +6:06,2
9. Štochl (Fabia R5) +6:43,1 (25 sec penalty)
10. Pospíšilík (Fabia R5) +7:36,5
SS Wins: Kopecký 12, Szeja 1, Pech 1, Dohnal 1
Notable retirements: Kopáček (Fiesta R5, withdrawn to save money for next event after he lost a chance for a good result in first few stages), Vlček (Fiesta R5, accident), Szeja (Fiesta R5, accident), Trněný (Fabia WRC, accident)
There was a huge accident of the crew Sobotka/Sobotka in the heavy rain on SS2. The car was completely destroyed and the crew was airlifted to the hospital. There is no further official information about the state of the crew. Hopefully no news is good news in this case.

By the way this is how legendary Malonty stage look like with new asphalt.
So nothing new under the sun. Kopecky wins his 20th rally in a row :)
And in those twenty rallies he had maybe one or two slow punctures and no major technical problems whatsoever. The only one who was close to brake the chain was twice Alex Lukyanuk on Barum. Let's see this year.
