yeah but Millener totally denied it as does Porter, they only watch the first split when he was 0.5 down.
lol noQuote:

so it is before the 2nd split where Evans was ''slower'' 2,5 sec from TanakQuote:

Just watched the stage replay, saw his dust at 8:25, was on his bumper at 8:35Quote:

He catched him before his second split and for sure lost before the split already some time. He passed the split at 8:46:7, Meeke was passing the split 0,6s before.
ok
I thought Evans catched Meeke just after split point 2
then equal time should be ok
The time is corrected, same as Tänak.
happy to see Evans having a better start of the season compare to 2018. Good to have another player that can once in while interfere with the established top 3
I think for official decision/time allocation we need to wait a little.
edit:
OK, it's there already, pretty fast reaction from CoC.
lol

Sorry for holding Elfyn up on the last stage but no way was it intended, I had hoped the organisers had given him an extra minute gap, I don’t want to get involved in the race for the lead, hopefully it can get sorted out.
Saturday with 174 stage kms.
Three faster crews finished day 1 among 9,8 sec.
yep, a monster and deciding day tomorrow.Quote:

Amazing pace from him.
Lets see tomorrow.
championship is so unpredictable!Quote:

Great day today and especially for Elfyn. I really hope he can keep this performance up as he is in big need of a boost this season.
Who remembers Antony Warmbold being caught on stage by another Ford driver (Duval? 2004 maybe?) - the only technology they had then to tell him was a mobile phone and he told his co-driver to turn it off before he realised at stage end that it was a team-mate behind him.

Well for me it's kind of a bigger surprise how slow Ogier was today than how fast Evans was.
After all Evans has shown good speed on tarmac multiple times before. (Spain and Monte (a few stages) last year, Monte year before... 2nd place in Corsica in 2015 (not all was rain) etc.).
Yep, seems Citroen have dropped the ball big-time with the C3 on their home rally.
With theirs and Ogier's history on Corsica that's quite incredible.
Seb Marshall @sebmarshall
Glad to see @ElfynEvans & @scottmartinat given a fair time after we unintentionally held them up on last stage today. Hold my hand up, it was my fault, apologies. Despite some good speed it’s been a tough day at the office. #sorrylads @OfficialWRC @MSportLtd @TGR_WRC @krismeeke
Yeah. It means one leg of stages is 87 km. The rules normally restrict leg distance to 80 km. Tyre management will be crucial.Quote:

Wonder what Loeb does, after being basically the slowest WRC on 3 stages he started to improve on the last two, will it continue or was it just a fluke?
He just said that he will test new things tomorrow because he hasnt anything to fight for.Quote:
