Breen not bad either +24. Meeke +1m44
Lappi the fastest Toyota?
Breen looking fast indeed. Neuville can hope for some "mont" incidents the next days, top five result stil possible
Mikkelsen second, only 7 secs to Ogier!
Breen as he crossed the end of stage "Ah, f*&k it" - Must have had a drama.
THU 22:24 - SS1: MEEKE
"I got stuck in a ditch. Really simple - caught a patch of ice. I had to wait for spectators and lost a minute - minute and a half. It's a long rally, we'll keep going, but it's not a good start."
THU 22:20 - SS1: EVANS
"We got a puncture about 12km in. We had to stop and change it. A bit of drama too on the ice too. A disastrous start."
Ogier can relax already, what a legend!
Oh look its our friend John Desborough!
THU 22:26 - SS1: BREEN
"A disaster - I got stick in the snow. Not in a bank but we couldn't move. Spectators helped us back out. Difficult."

THU 22:19 - SS1: SORDO
"It's not bad, but I don't think I did a very good time."
THU 22:18 - SS1: LATVALA
"Difficult. I spun twice and stalled twice. I think I lost 20 seconds, something like this. Difficult. I saw Neuville - I caught him in an icy section."
THU 22:16 - SS1: NEUVILLE
"I got stuck on a snow bank. I pulled the handbrake but locked all four wheels and went off wide. There were only a few people around so it took time to get back again. It's part of the game."
THU 22:13 - SS1: TANAK
There is some light bodywork damage to the front of his Yaris. "At the beginning of the ice we went out into a bank at like 10kph and I had to reverse. It was very tough."
THU 22:11 - SS1: OGIER
First to complete in 23m16.6s. "We lost time in a spin on the ice. We knew it would be tricky - no surprise that so many drivers have had problems!"
WHAT. A STAGE.
THU 22:27 - SS1: LAPPI
"The Tarmac section itself is okay but I have a few things to learn about the surface. The ice I took very slowly, I don't know the fastest way there. To minimise the mistakes there is the way. I'm pretty satisfied. I don't care about the time. Personally, an okay start."
THU 22:26 - SS1: BREEN

That ogier moment on wrc+ : O
That's why he's the champ!
Lappi with a third time, wow
Mikkelsen :D :D :D
I'll reserve judgement of the service until after tomorrow at least. It hasn't crashed for me but connection was spotty. Might have to do that it's a long night stage and the helicopter couldn't fly so i'll wait to see how the coverage is tomorrow. On the other hand i think the missing times are quite bad.
so Lappi and Mikkelsen were the only ones who didn have any moments?
Abbring seems to be missing...
A long long ways to go. Lets not all get a hard-on over one stage.
Camilli 23 and 25 sec faster from Kopecky / Suninen!!!

Shame!
Footage last year first stage was terrible too. Can only get better again later this weekend/year.
