Evans under team orders to be below Ogier and ahead of Neuville... typical msport crap.

Block and Andolfi without splits or standing...

2nd and 7th separated by 13 seconds, that's what you can loose in 5 km with wrong tirechoices and/or being unlucky with rain tomorrow.

Latvala could be leading the rally now without his puncture, even if we would assume he had made the same time as Tänak on SS4.

Pressure now on Seb and Thierry, to see how far they can climb up the leaderboard. Thierry could be in trouble if Hyundai haven't sorted their tarmac pace.

The question is what neuville would like to do ? have a small points advantage and clean the roads in australia ?or be less than 8 points behind and be 2nd on the road ?

Says it should be dry on sunday. So you can watch 0.5s differences between top5 on stages then and be satisfied ;)

FRI 18:09 - SS7: LOEB
And the Frenchman comes through to the end of the stage now. He's dropped 2.9sec to Latvala and he can't move up too far, he's currently fourth - just 0.5sec behind Evans and 2.9sec off Sordo. Co-driver Daniel Elena gets happy birthday sung to him by the fans at the stop line! Loeb says: "It was difficult in the beginning. I had a better set-up in the afternoon, I struggled with understeer earlier. Tomorrow, asphalt - if it is wet - will be tricky. Daniel is performing as usual! He didn't lose anything."

Very good atmosphere at stage-end. Like in old days ^_^

Good day for Kopecky aswell. Only 9 sec behind Kalle before two tarmac days for tarmac specialist, it must be easy job for Jan.

You forgot Camilli and Peter Solberg. Especially Camilli may be too far. He is very good on asphalt after all.

Veiby stopped.

Solans push hard on splits. even faster than Camilli

I think VW is doable for Jan 20+sec it's not much. But I mentioned only Skoda battle, everyone admire of Kalle pace but here he beat only for few sec his non-gravel teammate

He had a problem in his car on SS4 and lost 23 seconds, whereas we could have expected him to gain some seconds on that stage.

Gain? Quite unlikely. Kopecký was very fast on SS4, faster than Camilli and only Petter Solberg was faster by 0,5 seconds. No way Rovanperä could be 23 seconds faster.

Yeh, true. I remembered incorrectly the results from SS7. Kalle was only 4.8 seconds quicker than Jan.

Exciting day tomorrow. Also, as said, in WRC2. Let´s see what comes out of Saturday.

My guess:

Ogier in the lead.

WRC2: Petter slightly first...
26th October 2018, 17:31

And Petter drop to 3rd. Only 0.7 ahead of Jan. eeeexxxxccciittiiingg day tomorrow

Veiby stopped with electrical failure
26th October 2018, 17:39
WRC1

after day1 it is a mega premier for Volkswagen (a bit expected) but a mega poor show for Citroen R5´s.....only 1 "survived" the gravel day.....Tempestini (8. in wrc2)
26th October 2018, 17:42

Sylvain Michel also stopped.

Overall a lot of retirements in WRC2 - 8 of 20! Veiby, Lefebvre, Lopez (all C3), Andolfi, Pieniazek, Michel, Bulacia (all Fabia) and Katsuta (Fiesta)

Do you expect Ott to retire or have big big problems?

Was it a crash for Block in the end? Sounds like a silly question, but I don't like to assume! :D Haven't seen any pics/video yet.

He rolled, see video of the aftermath: https://www.facebook.com/rallypl/vid...9111405578623/
