Ogier and Mikkelsen are bang in trouble

Crazy drive by Kris!
Well that's a bit tiresome. Meeke is fastest in first tarmac stage and already he is going to win the event based on rallyradio...
Neuville and Tanak complaining of understeer, Meeke is flying (for now)
Meeke probably leading the rally after this stage
He said something like "Meeke has the speed to win the event", kinda early after 1 stage with mixed rain conditions.
Meeke into a lead.... and now I start worrying a lot.
All Hyundai drivers complaining about a lot of understeering.
it's always necessary to be wary of the reaction of an injured animal. Nice reaction from Meeke after a difficult period
Iirc Neuville was complaining of understeer too in Corsica for the first 3/4 stages. Then he sorted it and managed to overhaul Ogier for 2nd before Meeke's retirement. All 3 drivers need to find a little solution here, even though Sordo was quick

Kopecky was almost 10 seconds faster than Suninen, kind of like expected. Let's see if Suninen's lead is enough.
Nowhere did he say Meeke is now going to win the event though, which you said. Why don't you try harder to hide your hatred?
Meeke has been in and around the leading times all rally so far. Was 3/4secs off the lead after 6 gravel stages and is now fastest after the first tarmac stage. He might bin it, the C3 might have a technical issue but is it really "tiresome" for Clark to say his money is now on Meeke, who is 9secs in the lead and has nothing to lose?

In 2017 the only trouble of Ogier is to know who will pay him in 2018...
Next stage (8) is live now, let's see what Hyundai's can do and if Meeke will be able to keep it together.;)
So he doesn't believe he is going to win by saying his money is on him?
Apart from the finger pointing you are clearly missing the message there, as that long explanation confirms. Based on 1 stage you can't say it's only crash or technical issues that are keeping him from winning. This is like saying Tanak was going to be fastest yesterday after first stage which he won, way too early.
Yes based on earlier C3 performance on tarmac and the fact he has nothing to loose he could win, but 1 stage doesn't show he has the pace. Note how Neuville was clearly behind Meeke and Ogier in Corsica on friday and said he couldn't match them.. and then on Saturday he got much faster, all that on dry tarmac.
Hopefully Sordo can fight for the win. Would love to see him win on his home rally before he retires or leaves the sport. If he can get infront of Seb that will help limit the damage a little for Neuville in the championship, but Thierry needs to find some more pace himself if he can

Neuville wil have hard times at next year championship with Mikkelsen in same car
Good splits sofar for Hanninen
Not good pace of Hyundais here... Sordo and Neuville slow here(
Good to see Juho showing speed. Shame he's so far back after yesterday

Seb and Andreas level at first split.

Yeah... good stage and especially last sector by Juho! Well done!
Hanninen still fastest trough, 1,3 faster as Meeke
Getting very close up there for podium places:eek:
Very honest from Seb. Just needs to drive faster

Seems like Juho is really fighting for his place with toyota next year.;)
For all the guys writing Neuville off already: He is now 5th, 0,9s from Ogier and 1s from second place.
Great to see Meeke leading after big problems. And JUHO wow!! Great tarmac speed!
