Meeke was using but fucked up at this stage

Yep, would've been a lot closer to Andreas without his off. Would be nice if we have a big battle for the win between a few drivers but doesn't look like it atm

Mikkelsen testing the citröen has also helped them. I dont think Loeb is the only reason why we are seeing good times from the french team

I think this two names are wrong.... and correct one is - Besse

We shouldnt be surprised at all.. Mikkelsen won here last time and has the road position.

Extra benefit of Ogier's gear issue too so I think he has a great chance to win again.

Surprised to see no more comments over Lefebvre's time. His first proper performance of the year and nobody bats an eye!

Of course not, but I thought people would be more vocal and more surprised by him actually setting a good time.

Watched SS1, near the spectator zone, it's close enough to the start that you can hear the cars launching off the start line, there was some hanging dust, but certainly not bad and it cleared with plenty of time for next car. We watched entire field (so 2 hours to get through them!), so only caught the tail of the field at SS3, going to wait here for it to run as SS6, then off to the Super Specials tonight.

SS3/6 is slightly damp underfoot, but drying fast. Should be clean and dry and hard packed for second run. MSport guys said it was 21 degrees in the ground already here.

Couple of pics, I watched WRC cars rather than looking through the lense, so don't really have any pics of them. Citroens were definitely the most wild looking at the beginning of the stage!

SS1, slightly sideways Citroens, all much wider lines than the other cars:



Reeves:





Looking forward to seeing this in 6, it was very sideways in 3 but I didn't have camera handy:



Australian Police motorbikes... Some are friendly, some are very not friendly! We got moved on twice by them in SS1. At SS3 the cops are from a different area and very friendly:



Now waiting at SS3/6 for the repeat run on this corner:
