Now this next stage. It will be fast. Very fast. But narrow. And slippery. Can't wait.

It has been there always on this stage in the last few years. Dyfi will also have a couple, and Sweet Lamb Hafren before the arena.

Mikkelsen also quicker in second split than Tänak and Ogier, stage getting better for late starters there?

well something it had because Tänak and Ogier are the slowest ones and i doubt it was because of their driving skills, every car basically comes quicker,

and now the stage has been delayed because of the safety reasons. may be a good for Breen

Somalia and Syria don't have many forests. Wireless internet works pretty bad in deep forests. Even here in CZ where the internet coverage is great (better than in Germany for example) in the forests you loose the signal very often and it doesn't matter that much if it's 3G or 5G if you can't get the signal to the device.

STAGE STOPPED

The cars have driven through at non competitive speeds with no further action through Aberhirnant 1

This is due to spectators on a fast section mid stage standing in dangerous positions - and returning to them despite instructions to spectate elsewhere

Seems that Breen is just driving it through

Not easy to pick a time for Breen, if you give him the time of last car before him (Evans) it's stage winning time that will make him jump from 5th to 3rd, that doesn't look likely. A time around Neuville and Meeke is more likely, but that will still make him gain on Tanak and Ogier.

Julian also just talked on All Live about the Wales 2017 incident when Ogier went off and had to fix the brakes of his car and couldn't contact the team because there was no phone signal in the forest.

I urge all the spectators to heed the word of the marshals, SS5 was cancelled before we got to drive it, very disappointing. #WRC #WRGB https://t.co/RIRJPNbbn7

Breen got Neuville's time as I predicted, which is a kind of compromise. He looses a bit to Latvala but gains on Tanak and Ogier who were ahead of him in standings.

Would be more fare if all gor the same time, and not that those that have completed gets their time.

Unfortunately got caught out when the rear of the car snapped sideways in some mud, which spun the car 360 in the road and ended up here.....completely stuck. Not all bad, starting to get to grips with the new @MSportLtd Fiesta which has a lot of potential and build on tomorrow.

Chris Hoy from last night:

What an evening ! Driving Colin McRae’s 1996 WRC Impreza with his dad Jimmy in the co-driver seat for a demo at the Oulton Park stage of
@WalesRallyGB ! Such a huge privilege, and quite an emotional moment. Thanks so much @prodrive and of course Colin for the inspiration.
