no he wouldn't. He lost 40 seconds by his puncture and he's 2 minutes 40s behind.Quote:

Maybe after 8wdc's and pushing 40 having 200+ travel days per year vs spending time with the family things take different priorities.Quote:

According to the safety car crew the stage is pretty muddy.
If you are a family man you Will understand.Quote:

Seems that Evans made nice push on this one.
Today leaders can not extend the gaps anymore due the road position advantage, in this term is should be a bit more equal.
Actually 2-3, 5-6-7 and WRC2 all is pretty close, so it shall still be interesting but I somehow felt the first morning stage a bit lazy as well...
This stage looks to be a lot more interesting for me than the first one.
Tänak reportedly with one soft tyre on the car. Just why one?
I guess puncture for one rain tireQuote:

He was so lucky AGAIN that there was escape road. Otherwise it would have been overQuote:

Fourmaux put some good time in place and now just 8.2 sec from the RC2 lead. Things are interesting there as well, altough by trends Fourmaux just goes his own way if nothing extra happens.
In that case why did Ogier even enter the rally ? He must've known his road position and the likelihood of wet and muddy conditions he'd face on day 1.Quote:

Not a bad stage from Tänak without hybrid and one soft
So congrats to Rovanperä I guess, our double world champion.
Now if Neuville gets Rovanperä and Rovanperä goes to safe-mode for championship, then we may have quite boring 1.5 days ahead for rally1.
Rovanperä 16sec down on 1st split...
edit: confirmed by Rovanperä that he went to safe mode.
Yeah - though I wonder why wrc.com live update says "is champion provided he (Kalle) can make it through"? Kalle has 31 point lead over Evans and maximum haul from single event is just 30 points so Kalle's title does not hinge on him scoring any more points at all.Quote:

So could Kalle, as long as he doesn’t bin it tomorrow.Quote:

I'm a bit disappointed in Rovanperä immediately surrendering the lead now.
Spin with lucky/master escape for Mikkelsen.
Mikkelsen spun into a ditch but managed to get back on the road.
