Someone know the times of classics on SSS today? And category A on Fafe last weekend?

This stage was ridiculous. It makes a bit of sense to make this one in this location, but on the first day as a first stage! To do half-day of tough gravel stages at the far South and then having to drive 200Km up (and then down) to do a 3Km stage where things can go very wrong, it's just absolute nonsense. Can't believe the teams were up to it.

There's no need for this. It's a nice stage but not so far away from the rally itself that they have to drive there, and not during the middle of the rally. Besides, it was also not a good hour to do it... a few more terminal crashes/problems and that thing would delay into the night, it almost did today, and they were lucky because the weather was clear/sunny today and not overcast or rainy like a few days ago.

Can't wait for 2014 for the rally to go back to Fafe/Arganil, this Algarve setting/plan was getting worse year by year.
Up there hope they can make a Lousada / Baltar stage, which is much, much better.
