and Mikkelsen blasts past Evans with that time!

Lappi fast as well - massive cleaning. Good those boys are taking advantage
it will double figures between Sordo and Tänak after thisQuote:

Yep here comes Dani..., huge cleaning for the later starters hereQuote:

its not official, its EWRC-s guessQuote:

Ostberg as fast as Tänak and Neuville in first split on stage 9
tells a lot about cleaning
Meeke's Toyota has got problems at the media zone - Kris and Seb working on the car. Might have to push
Edit - got it started after a jump start
wuuuohhhh, good!Quote:

Suninen with a similar issue LOL. Drivers and co drivers having to do a bit of extra fitness work at the end of the day
they should because they're fighting with them in manufacturer championship
Two questions to end the day.
1 will JML road sweep for Ott tomorrow ?
2 will Seb O road sweep for Kris tomorrow to try & help keep Kris in front of Thierry ?
2019 WRC season of season long team tactics
Shitroen helping Meeke.. that would be against formQuote:

Who will Hyundai sacrifice for Neuville in this equation or will he have to be sacrificed for the better Manu points will be interesting
As I can see, you are a true WRC fan...Quote:

In theory Toyota can place both JML and Hanninen in front of Ott to disadvantage Neuville.Quote:

Actually, it could get worse, Citroen could then also move Lappi as if they assume that Toyota will move their cars then he would be first on the road anyway and unlikely to improve his position on pace so it wouldn’t make any difference points wise, and would hinder both Tanak and Neuville. Neuville could easily end up 1st on the road tomorrow rather than 5th as it would be now.Quote:

Cirque de Soleil in Rally Sardinia way.. really thight top3 fight and they give everybody else same time as Tänak?! Except they had fresh tires for rest of the stages.. sounds good!
imo they should've give them Evans' time as last on the stage.
I would have given them at least Neuville's time and a set of brand new tires. poor thingsQuote:

Letting 3 cars destroy their tyres and potentially their car and then punishing them by taking away their hard earned times? How is that fair?Quote:

Lappi's interview on Finnish TV at the end of the leg:
Interviewer: You obviously got the speed and also feel confident about the car...
Lappi: ...well, atleast I've got the speed...
In all fairness Lappi continued by saying that the car "was ok", but atleast I got the impression from the body language that he's missing the Yaris.
Yes, because punishing is letting them " destroy their tyres and potentially their car"....and award others with the exact same/better time for not driving it.Quote:

Anyway, I have to listen to them and I like it. Much better than looking at Split time without information.Quote:

Yeah for sure, it's much better than when we just had the splits to follow. I watch every stage every rally, and I am happy with it. But it could use some improvements regarding the commentators for sure. It's very noticeable when there's a guest commentator like Mikko today.
