Rally Sweden 2016

Bergqvist and his co-driver did a very good job when you have in mind that they both felt unwell on Friday's stages.
Åhlin drove good until he crashed out.
Tidemand a solid job but a bit unfortunate with the drive shaft problem although it might possibly be self-inflicted.

We'll see next year if there is a Rally Sweden and in that case where it is.

Why not Tidemand? Tidemand did for sure better job than Lappi here. Unlike Lappi he didn't crash, he was only unfortunate with technical problem and in the end finished ahead of Lappi anyway.

I wonder what's happening in the head of Malcolm Wilson now. So far Evans has been completely outperforming Camilli.

I was just thinking the same. Mads has done great but the speed he has shown isn't anything special. I'm thinking that Wilson has second thoughts about letting Tänak and Evans go.

@Lundefaret Comparing Bergkvist to Sunninen is quite unfair. Remember Sunninen has driven 4WD many times at least last year if I´m not completely lost. Although Sunninen did a good job, he had good starting position and in my eyes no pressure in opposite to Bergkvist who may had a one shot in this rally.

Why should the drive shaft problem been self-inflicted ? Because Lundefaret who knows everything think that ?

That was a nut who broke in the outer mounting without any hit or something, just pure bad luck

One should also have in mind that for some drivers the most important was to finish not to be fastest on last (sprint) powerstage. Therefore times on last stage didn´t say everything about stars or skills to me.

I didn't say it was. Just that it was theoretical possibility.

Agree. Especially for Tidemand who would get 2nd place points regardless if he finished 2nd or 3rd in the rally.

you are right 1 star to Tideman. Better than Lappi in this event

Paddon stopped for a while on the edge of Karlstad, but seems to be moving again!
