Championship points don't care how much you drove before, it's the result that counts. In that case it is a draw atm.Quote:

Let's wait to the end of the rally before evaluating anyone's performance. Great to see Breen going well so far, long way to go, team orders may come into the final result come Sunday.
Puncture for Meeke
Greensmith doing pretty well vs his Finnish team mate.
Same wheel as the one he touched the bank with on previous stage, might be related?Quote:

Jari and Meeke with puncture. Maybe same corner/stone
Another good time from Craigy Breen.
Well I don't think it will be Toyota 1-2-3 in the evening tbh. It was on the first passes that they always were much faster and now the differences are small.
And again, no other have puncture there, but 2/3 Toyotas are. Again possibly problems with a rimsQuote:

Loubet has got potential - impressive times this year at points.
Despite his age, this will be the 5th time he has done this event.Quote:

Good road position yes, but still an excellent morning's drive by Breen back the the WRC !
Yeeees Breen!! Great drive and liking the Hyundai
Latvala squeezed in ahead of Meeke. I'm hoping Meeke will get it back on the repeat stages this afternoon, thanks to reduced cleaning for Latvala and increased familiarity for Meeke.
Seems like a good morning for a lot of the WRC drivers, except Neuville and Suuninen. Neuville got faster, and Suuninen had damaged aero, but the time lost is going to cost them both road position for the rest of the rally.
Breen looks like he belongs.
Latvala, Lappi & Mikkelsen surprisingly good considering they have been lacking confidence in themselves or their cars lately.
Neuville was a big disappointment. I really expected a lot better from him and his position. Ogier solid but still showing no sign of being able to fight Tanak on speed.
Suninen cant really be judged too harshly until the aero is fixed.
Top 8 covered by 24 seconds, all to play for still.
Massive crash for Badiu who's been taken to hospital. Tukiainen won't be getting any further this week either.

Wow Meeke !
Bloody hell Kris
Now Lappi matches him !
Latvala on it too!
Really kris? It isn’t cleaning?
I’d like to see you first on the road
Latvala leads.
Oh, it really looks like strong cleaning on this stage. The later they start, the faster they go.

He said that Ott hasn’t much cleaning to doQuote:

Classics from Craig
So did Lappi, Meeke must've done something different there.Quote:

This is fantastic battle. 4 guys inside 2 seconds. Very pleased about Lappis and Latvalas pace.
Ah ok, I missed his comment, my audio is distorting.Quote:
