It is again Ogier-Neuville Monte battle.
Here comes the Daddy of RMC...
Ogier had a mega 2nd split, took 3.2s out of Thierry
Where Evans lost his pace?
Hybrid working so strange big time loss for Evans.
He said it was working now.Quote:

I don't think Evans is coming back from that today. And he hasn't particularly saved tyres for tomorrow.
I know I said it was, as shown by the graphic.Quote:

Lopez ten seconds faster than Gryazin now!
Evans has gone backwards since Thursday night for some reason.
I think he didn’t win any stage yesterday?
i guess tomorrow nobody will cruise that much. they ll not risk it all, but the target will still be top3 for all. they ll not pass on 12/10 points imho.
Andrea Adamo said in DirtFish preview that Evans is not that consistent as Neuville and Tanak. He really knows something more.
Btw, points system seems quite nice to me at the moment. No one is really cruising and we have interesting Sunday ahead.
I Think he got exposed by road positionQuote:

But if you think u done job in 2 of 3 days and 3rd drove lazy - u got less points. Not be lazy and things are same. Except difference from full 1st place and full 2nd. 8pts at prev.sys and 5pts now
Nothing to do with the points system, just 3 drivers on similar pace having a good old fashioned fight.Quote:

Pepe Lopez special engine ?
Rossel seems disappointed
Good article on the importance of the gravel crews for the rally...

What´s the upper side of doing that? New points system? Tell me.Quote:

And since he doesn't seem to have saved tyres so much, he'll have a harder time tomorrow.
So, I don't think there's an upside. Possibly he had some strategy like winning on Saturday by using the good tyres, but between the road position swap and his hybrid problems, he'll near miss.
Yes - if one is interested in the backfield. My interest is geared only towards top two teams of Toyota and Hyundai, I even struggle having interest for M-Sport.Quote:

Yeah loving this.
Evans can do nothing to get back in the fight. Disappointing.
This is super exciting. The next stage suited Hyundais very well in the morning
He is cruising now :DQuote:

So so sad, this guy doesn't do full season.. :/
Can't comment on that, WRC is dropping rapidly out of my radar and thus I don't frequent here between rallies either nowadays. But if that's true, then situation is an improvement for you that still have the spark.Quote:
