WOW! Breen in 3rd! How?
:D
Hey NOT
I've got the cold, so I'm sleeping and resting and not really paying attention to the rally this wkend....
BUT! I forgot what else I was going to write.
Ostberg wins a stage ! That's what I get for losing the faith... ;)
Mads Østberg :
“We’ve really enjoyed the morning, and it felt good to share a fastest time with Seb [Ogier] in that last one [SS16]. We’re still in the fight and trying hard on every stage. The gap to the podium is very small, so it is possible to do something. You never know in Finland.”

Hearing from @stu_loudon that it's absolutely lashing down with rain at the end of Ouninpohja! Could make for a very interesting afternoon!

@MadsOstberg "Tyre choice will be difficult afternoon, dark clouds coming over Ouninpohja"

Nice how WRC+ maps has the start and finish around the wrong way for stage 17
Sat 14:51 - Weather update
Still dry and bright here in Jyvaskyla but there are threatening-looking clouds building overhead. SS17 is dry but cloudy at the start. Rain is reported in the closing few kilometres.
Sat 14:49 - SS17: LIVE
Mikkelsen started at 1448hrs. Three minute-gaps for this stage
Mikkelsen 27:43 hours faster than himself.
again everybody with 5 soft tyres
Mikkelsen 5 sec slower from Meekes morning time,and 22 sec faster from his time at 1st pass
Meeke at 14th km into stage

Sat 15:22 - SS17: Tanak
Second fastest here and he moves ahead of Mikkelsen into seventh position. There's less than three seconds between him and third place. "I'm not getting too excited - I've already given these guys more than a minute. I'm not sure about my tyre choice - a mix of hard and soft tyres. We will see how the loop goes."
Meeke WTF???
Enjoyable rally so far, too bad the fight is not so close at the top.
Meeke has come a long way in the past year, sure he's making use of the starting position but a great drive so far!
I am impressed by Breen, he seems faster each time he is in the car and he's doing very well on this specialist rally. I hope we see him in a full time drive next year.
Meeke while he said he will control the gap,ridicules everybody and with no start position advantage at the legendary stage.
Big respect,big balls.
132,5 average btw
Breen imho is more impressive...
so it's clearly not all down to road position.
Οgier did he said something about start position now?
Meeke smashes everyone even though he doesnt need to push. Awesome.
Breen is proving his times were no fluke and he is a real driver, despite coming from the ERC.
Bertellis roll

Big!

We are okay, thanks to all for your messages!
We will never give up 💪
See you in Deutschland!
Some thoughts:
Tanak probably causes his punctures (partially) himself with his spectacular driving style.
The Citroën is a really fast car, maybe even on the pace of the VWs. Meeke and Breen are not bad drivers, but I think their car is clearly faster than the Hyundai and Ford, at least on these stages.

Imagine if JML has an off or problem (has been known)... could be a Citroen 1-2 !
Not the first time by a mile. I can't count how many times they have done that. The people responsible for that has to seriously get their act together.
I mean, if I was someone responsible for the broadcast of the world's second largest and world's best motorsport I'd be ashamed of the amount of things that aren't working. Split times still not working properly after many many years, maps the wrong way, super weird camera locations, the list goes on.
How hard can it be?
