Tour De Course 2017

The first part of this second stage must be very wide and open, otherwise I can't explain how Kopecký with no power steering can be second fastest there (he looses plenty of time on the rest of the stage).

I think i saw him on facebook live SS4, (downhill hairpin must be in the first half of stage), and it did not look like he had any problem, nice clean handbrake turn, fastest from R5 cars (i missed Mikkelsen)

I'm quite busy today and can't follow the rally properly. Anyway I'm happy that a busy day is happening this weekend since this rally for the third time in a row (out of three) seems quite boring.

Yes, that hairpin looks absolutly fine for Kopecky. Looks like at the begining of stage he has enough muscle power... and tired up to the stage

Anyone know what the issues were for Loubet this morning? Sounded like he had a developing problem at the end of SS1 and then obviously quite big time loss on SS2. I genuinely think he'd have been on for his best result this weekend. Seems to have half decent pace.

Anyone know what happened to Bouffier?

"We just finished this first day. We took it as an learning chance !
We improved stage after stage, our times are not so bad, in the WRC2 Top3.
Unfortunately, this brake trouble in the 2nd stage has stolen us the third place tonight.
But the best is still coming and we will be back stronger.
I really enjoyed the car, it makes me so happy.
Now, we are on our way to Bastia for the service. Look forward to tomorrow. "

Sarrazin is driving Škoda, brand new car of his own team.

Also why do You think that Hyundai is worse?

Yes, you are right. Sorry, my mistake for not checking about the Skoda. And regarding competitiveness of Hyundai R5, just because there have been no good results with that car (even with few drivers using it). Paddon showed good speed in San Remo but only won 1 stage vs the Peugeot 28, which has consesnsus not to be the best car. I know Paddon does not have same knowledge as Andreucci, etc.

Can you say Hyndai is on top of R5? same level as Skoda or Fiesta?

So frustrating for @OttTanak. Just passed his car looking almost damage free, on the road and being driven back to Bastia.

I just don't think we've seen enough of the car yet to be honest. They are too much of a rare sighting at the moment to say definitively how quick.
