Oliver really has to calm down when he hits issues.

Slow half spin for Solberg, stalled the car and couldn't get reverse! Mads to third.

Eventful stage! Long live long stages!

Neuville and Tänak should be very happy that they got new contracts signed..

Suninen lost any chance to challenge Lappi with that issue (spin? - we didn't get to hear it). Solberg lost 3rd and we now have a 3-way fight for it with Østberg and Gryazin.

Exactly what I was thinking, Adamo's gonna have a hard think about his 3rd driver for next year.

Damn, unfortunate for Ott. Most likely clipped something. Ogier waited it out and got a present. Also interesting that Katsuta is few secs away from podium.

And that's how ogier becomes champion. His rivals are stupid enough to push when they don't need to and crash out, and ogier just cruises to the end.

As a Ogier's fan I'm happy, but still wait with such predictions....season is still long. Anything can happen.

Any facts to confirm what caused the damage to Tanak's car ?

Ogier is not 7x WRC Champion by coincidence. He knows how to get to the finish. It´s just so frustrating that his rivals are always so stupid that they let him take the titles...

I said already 1.000x times in the past- in rally you have sometimes to "back up", it is not whole time 100% push and attack.

Meeke and Duval disagree with you.

They just said Sordo has broken starter and can't turn off the engine.

i think i found when the suspension broke

rewatched the live, and at 17.15 (Tänaks stage time) theres like a compression on the straight and you can see it lifts the rear of the car, and already in the next corner Tänak says: "F**k" in estonian

Suninens Fiesta looks set up for Safari on this stage and the Polo for tarmac :)

Fully agree. Seems to be better at writing pacenotes too.

I watched and while there is no doubt he has an issue when he gets to the tarmac the car seems strangely sideways even before 1715.

Obviously Adamo will want just one (third) driver (ideally anyhow) but obviously I have no clue, I'm just saying, it's a tough position to be in for Adamo.

Why would he "obviously" want just one when he won his both manu titles due to driver rotation?

Well that's what he said or what dirtfish reported if I recall correctly before the rally, something like, just because it worked in 2019 won't mean it work in 2022.

i just watched again and didnt see anything strange before that...Evans was also very sideways before that same place but the compression didnt lift his car so much as Tänaks

E: same story with Sordo, the car doesnt move basically at all on the same place.
