I don't understand why rally is becoming late(more than 30" late compared to official start time)

Is it because of weather(wet and rain)or spectators, or something else

after stage 6 Ucci just 0,2 ahead from Nucita,and 1,4sec from Cambedelli
stage 6 was a gamble with tyres.At stage 5 Nucita was 12,2 sec from Ucci.

Retirement of Simone Campedelli in SS7

Now only clothe contender of Ucci is Andrea Nucita(who was less than 1" behind after SS6)...

He's 9" ahead of Ucci

It is still a long way to the finish line.......many things can happen.

It is very challenging in Sicily-after 10th stage both Nucita and Andreucci leading rally. Third Scandola 34 sec behind them.

It was the same in Rallye de Wallonie in Belgium last weekend. Verschueren (Michelin) won, Cherain (D-Mack) 2nd and Fernémont (Pirelli) 3th.

Ucci did a mistake(spin in a chicane?if i understood right) and now Nucita leader with 15,2sec from Ucci.

Andrea Nucita is a winner of Targa!! Congratulations! He has perfectly taken the advantage of the changing weather conditions (wet/dry) and the knowledge of home stages and has beaten Paolo Andreucci. On the other hand, Nucita is not registered in C.I.R, so that may be the reason, that Andreucci hasn't shown 100% performance......
Scandola third, this is a success for him.
C.I.R standing: Andreucci 42, Cempedelli 22, Scandola 20.....
