Yeah, before I see it already got the feeling they'd be Michelin, not Pirelli.

I find it quit funny you downtalk M-sport all the time, after 9 races they lead the manufactorers championship and are joint #1 for the drivers championship, in my eyes so far this season they have the joint fastest car if we count average on all surfaces with Hyundai (look at Hyundais pace in Finland..) at least they are ahead of both Toyota and Citroen

Has Malcolm put concrete in your sandbox as a child or what do you have against M-sport?

Fri 09:08 - Weather
A cloudy start, but so far the forecast heavy rain hasn't materialised. There has been some rain but very little. SS2 looks largely dry in the open areas but is likely to be wet under the trees. Rain showers are forecast for later today. The current temperature is 19˚C.

Raining at SS2 already, reported on WRC radio

cmoonnn michelin reveal that tyre choice already!

Yeah, WRX could be more suitable to Meeke or other fast and crashy drivers as Kubica or Lukyanuk. Would love to see them on WRX track.

The German weather made tyre choice a tricky one this morning. We've gone with a mix - let's see if we got it right... #WRC #ADACRallye

Late starters will get wet mud anyway so they will go with softs with some various cutting. But the front starters could probably gain a lot with a more risky choice.

Meeke/Breen/Toyota/M-Sport: 4 Michelin Pilot Sport S5 +2H5
Paddon/Mikkelsen: 5S
Sordo/Neuville: 3S+3H

no splits after 5 minutes at 9 km stage?

Because it's a 5min superspecial and i guess they do the loop twice if it's the same as last year so splits wouldn't work very well

Finish time nearby 5min. It's SSS so they go round 2 times that track... boring

this is just ridicoulous to watch...like circuit racing

Important to be faster than Seb right away. Get in Thierry!

You are crying like an old granny.....forget it and concentrate on following stages.

Rally radio said Ogier spun and lost 5 secs. Still only a few seconds behind. Latvala just in second fastest behind Nueville

Ogier already had an off

Latvala and Sordo have some slight frontal damage

msport guys not having the best opening stage at the moment., three of the slowest guys at the moment.

Neuville: "Okay. Three hard tyres and one hard on the car. A different package to what Seb has. I think this was a good choice"

So, 4 hard tyres?

I know its hard for you to understand why we must have splits at all stages.

Good drivers mark those spots in the notes.

What are you watching on ?

nice one Mikkelsen...5th in overall at the moment.

Are German roads so poor that they must use ugly SSS to fill overall rally mileage?

Kopecky 0,6 faster from Camilli

soooo long gap now to the next stage...weird

Suninen complaining he was just told to go right away from the start. He is saying his time is off due to this. What the heck are the workers doing.

What was wrong with Camilli's car? he thanked the mechanics for fixing it

so light drizzle on SS3 and TOP runners may get through without rain, should be interesting.

Once again, doing laps does not belong to rallying.

I don't like rain lottery on Friday, there is always plenty of drama even without it. Saturday afternoon or Sunday rain lottery is better. Ohh well, can't have everything.
