Ott Tanak after gala interview : "It would be nice to beat Ogier before he retires". Has he said too much? :-)

What a great season we had, bringing the best of my memories from the glory days of rallying.
I, as many, was hoping for yet another different winner in 2017 in Rally Australia, but it wasn’t to be, nevertheless, I enjoyed the rally. Having said that, cancelling the penultimate stage was a massive let down for me, a real anti-climax, I am sure we were denied a nail biting finish due to the tricky conditions. I struggle to believe that the safety (as in access for safety personnel and vehicles) would have been compromised as stated in this forum and that the conditions would have presented any greater challenge to the organisers than the ones at the night fog during Rally GB. I suppose good persuasion powers on the side of Mr. Nandan.
And to reiterate what others have said regarding the conditions, this is rallying, not circuit racing:

What?
1. You seriously think Latvala had a chance to catch 15s over 16km on two stages after it stopped raining and the conditions got more equal and less risky? The 9s he got in the morning were over 30km stage with no splits in the worst conditions when Neuville took it easy. Immediatelly in next stage in just about same conditions Neuville took 5 back.
2. What do you think is more likely
a) organizers decided to cancel as they had info on how the access road look
b) Nandan convinced them to cancel and find out an excuse
Occam's razor or tinfoil hat?
Sure it might have been unnecessary/bad decision, but given the differences between drivers and the stopped rain + drying road it would have had little to no effect to run the stage.

Explanation was that the stage got cancelled due to damaged access roads? In my head that means damage to roads that emergency services have to travel in case something happens.
We have seen on the Power Stage how dry and clean it was compared to the morning so I have no reason to believe the stage before was much different.

As a side note what has Mikkelsen? to do with super treacherous conditions, he got 2 punctures on a dry stage. Those that got caught out in treacherous conditions were Lefevbre and Breen. Starting to think you were watching different rally.
