Meeke on finish mode
You are almost correct. He did navigational error. That means, they took wrong route, which made their distance back to the service much longer.. and there was not enough fuel for this excurion in Turkish mountains ;)Quote:

The rally leader 11.7sec slower than Mikkelsen. "A bit of a safer approach. The car is higher, and we're carrying two spare wheels, which affects the balance. This stage was narrow and rough in places. We're taking care."
Sat 16:03 - Tyre info
News from Michelin on the number and compounds (Hard or Soft) of LTX force tyres their WRC drivers have for the afternoon loop: Meeke: 4S&2H, Sordo: 3S&2H, Ogier: 4S&1H, Latvala/Mikkelsen: 2H&3S, M-Sport: 3S&3H
That is crazy dangerous spot! He took the corner normaly, suddenly there is sky and then fall into the hell... and I was right, there was no roll :)Quote:

On SS5 how many cars went past Paddon's crash before Tanak ?
FourQuote:

Looks like stalled engine or something. Next split is fast.
By the way very good times by Scott Pedder when he doesn't roll or something similar :)
But Mikkelsen, Sordo and Neuville went through ok..Quote:

Wow, Mikkelsen took a lot of time back!
Ostberg + 24,6 sec from Mikkelsen at 26km stage and he is happy with his driving. lololol

Exactly, so those that went off have to take the blame for their error.Quote:

This time I would say that it was pure bad luck, when 50% cars go off or break down and other 50 are not, then it is more or less lucky or not. Like it was said, it is not cricuit. It was not that cutting more caused trouble. because Ogier cut more and was lucky with his moment. It was not case of driving faster or slower, nearly all drivers had the same speed, just a question of few cm here or there.Quote:

I grant that - I do think it is the right mentality from Paddon to try to use it as an opportunity to learn from though, rather than acting like he's a good driver so he's entitled to a good result and if it doesn't happen, it's just bad luck and out of his hands. Several other drivers come to mind...Quote:

Rally Portugal was a disaster for us, many unlucky problems and right now alternator has given up! We get back stronger!
We should clear the rocks for Kris..

Tidemand lost 2 minutes. Looks like quite fast tyre change.
