was it bluuford again who knew rain is coming? ;)
Yohan Rossell 3rd overall at this stage at the moment
Lindholm 2nd!
I think Kalle will manage his points overall, and he will therefore let Ott win...
It's dry on powerstage and blue skies...
Lindholm and Kajto passed Gryazin in the overall classification.
Gryazin lost the second place he was holding for almost all rally from Kajto.
Kajto excellent rally so far.
we will see, he said this yesterday too and them BAM put a amazing stage time on final stageQuote:

Man how I love this sport...
it rained on PS too before, the question is how much will be left of it for PS time
Kalle said already during first PS pass that soft is better for that stage.
we will see, will be an amazing fight
Probably too wet in the forest with all the cutsQuote:

So why have two rain tyres at all ? Plus they wouldnt work with two hards anyway !
To cover Ott, and playing it safeQuote:

without that Kalle would probably be in 3rd place or at least very much in fight with ThierryQuote:

It was this wet 2 hours ago In the beginning of power stage https://twitter.com/rallirahvas/stat...pVEfrBtoh6gbBA
I assume Toyota didnt have time to swap all Kalle's tyres to match Tanak. The wets stuck in the boot were just a last minute thing but not enough to fight for his lead if it did rain.
Update on weather, currently at the power stage?

dry and sunny on tv
Very dirty stage.. anything could still happen with the right/wrong tyres.
Tears from Sarreaud at finish of PS.
tanak will be going for all or nothing i guess (just 5 points at the moment) rovanperä, like he said yesterday, will approach sensitiv an take a look at the championship...maybe...
This is their dream, their life goal. You can have those emotions when you achieve those. Well done and congrats!Quote:
