Breen`s off with some rolls :(

It's muddled thinking; a sprint event is still a sprint event whether they have a mid day service or not. If they want proper Endurance, then increase the mileage!! This is them trying to prove a point. You can be out of the event because of a minor 'repairable' problem - not sure they've thought it through properly.Quote:

Pressure is on!
I can only remember that Mikkelsen crashed on power stage, dont think he had injector problems without checkingQuote:

Why is Meeke so sh*t?
Don't worry, he just threw in the towel because he's penalized by his road position and is only interested in wins, so no sense to fight for a podium. Very professional...Quote:

Well, that i20 R5 isn't really setting the world on fire yet..
"A transmission issue on the opening road section means @KevinAbbring and @sebmarshall have had to pull out from today’s stages."
Must be a reason, he's not that slow...
No motivation if he cant fight at the front ? Wants to finish to add to experience looking to 2017 ?
No motivation?Quote:

SS10 for wrc2:
Split1:
Lappi +0.0
Suninen +0.1
Split2
Suninen +0.0
Lappi +0.2
It's a fight! :)
Tanak: "You need some proper hairy balls to be fast in that one. Maybe I was a bit chicken!"
:D :D
If the rally was 5000km long he could close the gap :DQuote:

Looks like we have another Ostberg in the field.
He cant, that's his point.Quote:

Hmm i don't remember Ostberg winning two rallies out of 7 starts this season. Or pushing Ogier hard in a battle for the lead on the Monte, or generally being the 2nd quickest driver in Sweden and Corsica too...Quote:

Meeke probably thought he might have had a chance of fighting for the win before the event started, so i can see why he's pissed off. He also doesn't have driver or manufacturer points to think about either which is worth remembering, so ofcourse he's going to lose a bit of motivation knowing he can't do better than 5th in current circumstances.

Meeke just has lost something in the last rallies. Absolutely different guy than in Portugal and Finland
What happened to Abbring? Did restart today, but never started into the stage.
Found the answer - Hyundai Motorsport: A transmission issue on the opening road section means @KevinAbbring and @sebmarshall have had to pull out from today’s stages.
What a disaster
I'll be very mean: Road position! :PQuote:

Meeke had two slow punctures and has used all six of his soft compound Michelin tyres. He has five more stages to complete before the end of the day with no opportunity to take onboard additional rubber.
What so because he got caught in a thunderstorm in Spain and is having a bit of an off rally in Wales he's a different guy?Quote:

I would not be so result-oriented with Meeke. He is just not having a good weekend. It happens to everyone unless they are called Sebastien.
Some people are so fickle... Meeke is great when he's taking the wins and fighting with Ogier... but a soon as he's not, he's a different guy, or another Ostberg...
Support him if you are a fan.
All these people bagging Meeke, can't you get the picture that he only has the tyres on the car to finish the day. One puncture and he is out. I would drive safely in this situation and go for the finish. Have been in a similar situation myself with 2 punctures early in a rally with no service. Backed off and went for points and experience rather than a podium.
Yes I have done some rallies, over 300 and still counting so I do know a little bit about this sport.

Looks like another stage win for Tanak ! :)
I don't think he will have enough stages to peg the difference back although with Sunday road position will make a huge difference I wreckon.Quote:
