So as it stands Ogier has 3 cars sweeping ahead of him tomorrow - that will even things up.
Pleased with the pace of the Citroens. I think people have mis-interpreted the 'Loeb' effect. I suspect Meeke was saying what they need to do all along but they weren't about to listen to the rosbif connard. Loeb just confirmed the car was a pile of crap and they then knew Meeke had been right all along.
So, SS6 was good fun, we managed to get away from the marshals and go down the stage about 1km from the junction we entered at and setup on a 90 degree right opening to a left and onto a straight. Very dusty for the first 6-8 cars, with aggressive cutting bringing more dirt out. The Hyundais and Evans all looked to understeer through here (around at 18-20km mark of the stage). The road had been worn down completely and was rock hard, so I imagine soft tyres would have been hard work!
Took pics of most of the WRC cars, so easy to compare lines. Managed to take pics of a lot of the field, so will spam you a bit now...

All 3 Citroens had bumper issues:

Paddon definitely looked to be struggling for grip:

Andreas less so, but difficulty turning it back the other way?

Kalle was tidy again:

As was Mike Young, interestingly he was faster than the WRC Trophy guy and most of the ARC Evos and Subarus, which is impressive on a relatively fast and flowing road:

Only one of the Japanese gentlemen drivers made it this far:

Pinter was ok, but not as committed as I was expecting:

Reeves was looking tidy and quick:

Nathan Quinn had a left front puncture, which he was driving out on, so giving Molly Taylor a big advantage in the points I suspect:

S2000s were sideways and sounded glorious echoing through the trees:

to be fair everyone was loosing bits after the watersplash but M-sport the most. Already in Wales at the last stage you could also see Ogiers diffusor hanging and now they both lost it with Tänak, Tänak even twice....and not to mention losing the rear spoiler in poland and with Mads in sweden.
This article says it's the same system but it's just made broader to describe the road in greater detail
