Looks like Meeke maybe was either a bit safe, or made a slight mistake in the gravel section if splits say anything.
Shame we haven't seen anything of that section....

The stream followed Loeb earlier in the stage and now starts showing the ending of the stage after the gravel. But we'll see it in the onboards later on.Quote:

Ogier pace - mega! (so far)
Tanak up on Evans Split 1.
Not very, even Sordo is faster.Quote:

It's probably the biggest frustration for me of WRC+ that they can't show these things in the coverage. It was the same with the Monte where there were some dry stages with maybe one really tricky snow section. And they completely missed it off the coverage. Just too rigid in terms of what they show.Quote:

Ogier flying! Could be up to 4th.
Gutted for Camilli.
Camilli stopped but going again
Maybe the gravel section cleans up for the later runners?
Anyone seen anything of the 4km gravel ?
prepare to Lappi crying!
edit: glad to hear that something in this life Lappi - enjoy. At least breakfast.
Ogier found sonething here.
Will be interesting to see the onboards. Maybe there's some vague lines for the others to follow (drivers said after recce they were going to find it hard where to position the car as half the road is gravel and half isnt).Quote:

Shame for Suninen but at least no mistakes.
For Suninen even 7-8th would be a good result now with the good pace he has shown. Anything but another off.
Evans very slow at this one.
Good time for Sordo! Welldone!
oooohh EVANS 4TH SPLIT!
Go Elfyn !!
Rovanperä off. What a bad rally and bad season for him.
Sorry for him, but the competition is harder for him now.Quote:

Quite amazing to see so small gaps after 47km stage
I want this fight to end with power stage. Amazing !
Rovanpera reired. Very bad year for him so far.
Oh not again Kalle :(Quote:

Still he is fast, but not consistent.
Not even fast in this rally. His best result in this rally was 5th in RC2 on the previous stage.Quote:

Seems that the pressure put on him by being the only Skoda driver is doing its job. Last season all he had to do was show speed with Tidemand and Kopecky going for the title.Quote:
