No, it is Seb who takes besttime and keeps the lead.

Tanak great time, wants to compensate morning delay probably
Prokop losing a lot now?
Weys just a little faster as Nikara again :p
Sordo out ? Ok, he is 22 on the road, faster than anyone after first split, come on Dani
The repair took too long for Sordo as it seems.
EDIT: proper times for Sordo finally. What they did in the service :D
Colin starting fights with small children...
Now Sordo have good car to show what he can :)
Great time indeed for Dani, pitty he didn't survive yesterday's stages. Hope he can show us some more great speed. Hope he moves to Citroen next season. ;)

Last year after the season on a party Hans told me "There is practically no difference between the 3 WRCars at the moment, the driver must do it, if you look at the lines some guys are taking, on asphalt, it's normal that they lose some time." I'll leave it empty who "some guys" are... :)Quote:

Tanak will catch 4th next stage probably. Can he get another podium tomorrow? :)
Hans Weys clearly faster as Nikara on this one, did you put the beers cold allready Dimvii? :D
Yes he loosing a lot at this long stage as at 1st pass.The only stage Nikara won at asphalt was ss7 where Weijs did a mistake.Quote:

Nikara at some stages is ok,at others looses a lot,but we don t know all the parameters to have a safe conclusion ie if he found a right setup,tyre choice etc.
Nikara seems to had runs almost the same as Atkinson so far. Considering this I would say the main parameter is called Mini.
Look at Sordo's splittimes, he is on a massive attack :eek:
very good stage for Weijs, faster than Novikov-Prokop
He will catch up with the car in front of him very quickly, they start with 2 mins interval today?
i think that is Nikaras inexperience at asphalt than Mini.See Nikaras yesterday gravel stage times,or Sordos today after miday service times.Quote:

I really hope Nikara can keep it on the road and put some good times tomorrow with fixed car. He's had his problems but all in all I would say he's doing a good job in his first ever WRC rally. Yesterdays gravel speed with 10 km's of gravel testing was really good and this day shows he has also potential on tarmac.

Another besttime for Dani
Haydon Paddon is setting some stunning times today, i know he has nothing to loose, but you have to do it anyway.
With 1 more stage this day... :)
