Congrats to Andreas and Ola for the win! A good day for us Norwegians! #heiaNorge
i think i saw him limping from the coverage but nothing serious
SS23: WRC 2 TIDEMAND
He is the only WRC 2 competitor through so far. It looks like the stage has been stopped and we will need to wait to see the top 3. One thing is certain however - Tidemand is the winner.
The rally is stopped now... So no WRC2 fight? I wonder what the notional times will be...
All good things come to he who waits...

WRC.com fail.

ŠKODA Motorsport @MotorsportSkoda
Now it's official. @PontusTidemand wins #RallyRACC! Jan #Kopecky finished 2nd. #SKODA wins #WRC2 team championship!
Norway at its best today
Marius Aasen @MariusAasen
Yes!!! Amazing!!! We have won the #DDFT! Just a little road section back to parc farme!
Ogier left stage in Helicopter
So Nasser is champion in WRC2. Despite Škodas taking all top 4 places today and being dominant through the season I still have to say that they managed to come with quite an extraordinary fail when despite all that they didn't manage to take the title. It's quite clear that the responsibility goes to wrong management decision to put everything only on Lappi.
Even if it was a costly mistake Capito would never say anything against him.
Maybe he was pushing in order to make the two circles and win the stage. Lol, this sounds so plausible to me. We'll never know. :)
It's still 1-2 for VW, but it's better then 1-2-3...

Latvala could fight for the championship if he hadnt 3 dnf at first 4 rallies.Actually if he had one dnf less.
Impressive how better he is at 2nd half of the year.
edit. sorry guys the points i copied are wrong.
the right is 154 for Ogier and 168 for Latvala from Portugal till Spain.
Still he could fight for championship if he hadn t the 3 dnf at first half.

LOL, Seb.O is still a mortal after all. :D
WRC2 by average points per event (just out of curiosity)
Kopecký - 3 events and 58 points - avg. 19,3 points/event
Al Attiyah - 7 events and 112 points - avg. 16 points/event
Protasov - 6 events and 90 points - avg. 15 points/event
Tidemand - 6 events and 86 points - avg. 14,3 points/event
Al Kuwari - 6 events and 76 points - avg. 12,7 points/event
Lappi - 7 events and 88 points - avg. 12,6 points/event
I made the same counts at the end of the rally but we must be realists. Those number have not too much meaning.
1) Ogier would not have been first in the road in some of the rally you mentioned.
2) Ogier would have been very much concentrated than ha has been in the last few rallies.
3) Ogier is clearly the man to beat, showed better pace than Latvala in Corsica and here in Spain.
But we should also praise Latvala that has finally showed consistency from Finland till now. I don't know if he never had finished 5 events in a row in first and second positions only. Of course it would be another thing to see such performances when championship is not yet gone for him.
