I'm sure Tänak will attack on first stage tomorrow.. if it pays off, he will push till the end..
Friday only Fords took stage wins, today only Hyundais. Tomorrow? Evans gives a push for 3rd place and Kalle for PS
Neuville leads with 27.9sec over TänakQuote:

It's more than 0.6sec per km. I'm not sure Tänak wants to take this kind of push to take it from Neuville without "gifts" from Neuville (mistake, puncture, team order, ...)
Mikkelsen was last WRC2 friday morning from 34 cars and now is in top 10
Where is Suninen?
Retired
Hyundai team of stars, not a star team... eh. What a useless dogs
He would ve very stupid if he did that. I assume that all he will do is drive slow, try to get as much powerstage points as possible and hope that neuville lets him pass.Quote:

Assuming (hopefully) their cars won’t break down tomorrow.Quote:

Hope they run Virves and Armstrong first on PS tomorrow to see some good pure emotions.Quote:

Honestly NOT, calling those people animals is an insult to animals.Quote:

Disappointing statement from Sordo.. as a ,,all-carreer wingman'' I thought more of him.
,,team Neuville'' x2
They seem to have learnt nothing from the Ypres drama. Moncet should keep his fingers crossed no i20 crashes out tomorrow, then...

If they could make it a 1-2-3 it would be incredible but this is Hyundai after all, something’s bound to go wrong, hopefully not but as we’ve seen over the past two seasons, it’s not over till it’s over.Quote:

Is Mikkelsen 8.49 behind Lindholm?
That is a serious chunk of time.

They will have to switch Tanak and Neuville. And let Tanak try and win the power stage (without Neuville going for it). 30pts against a few for Kalle is a big swing.
Ofcourse the championship is still a long shot, but Kalle is in a rut. He will be starting to feel a bit of pressure/possibly drive differently etc. He's also in a world of trouble in New Zealand if it's bone dry (the cleaning could be worse there than it is in Greece). Hyundai have to give Tanak every point available...
Regarding the power stage points something I've never really taken in before, there's 24 and 28 minutes between Rovanpera and Tanak and Neuville. They will go into the stage knowing not just his time relative to others and first run, but also his splits, and Thierry could take a decision as late as the final split point whether to back off a tad or not and still beat Rov. If they were friends and colleagues.Quote:

Now that has been a fun rally! Friday with the Fords, now with the Hyundais... Sundays are normally just a survival, but it was fun anywa! I wonder if Kalle will start to fell the pressure for the last rounds...
Friday is for "friday heroes" - who can use their awesome road position because of partial or shitty season so far. Reality comes from saturday, in case others from usual leaders reached to usable start position. Only Loeb could survive Saturday from "friday heroes", because he is a hero, or the hero.Quote:

Yes, good driving obviously. Worst possible timing to do a mistake. He is clearly fastest not-rally1 driver out there.Quote:

GG is fast. Lappi +2,7, or reccespeed.
Problems for Evans and seems that only fight for today (Sordo vs Evans for 3rd) is also sorted out before it even started.
What a nightmare rally for toyota.
Thats a lot of points taken off manufacturers point lead by Hyundai.
Hyundai drivers must insure they get to the finish.Quote:

In All live they said Evans has turbo issues...
Easy now. Keep this. No fighting so the tacticals work. @Hyundai!
But it isn’t enough it seems
