He will never get those lost points back, and now the first car on the road is leading the rally.

But for all their Monte wins, how many Sweden wins had Loeb and Ogier due to opening the road...

Nice time by Gus and Fourmaux going well on the better lines.

Or rather, Breen's time was quite slow. See how much faster Katsuta is.

The modular design of the Toyota GR Yaris #Rally1 rear bumper allows that only rear of the fender is lost in case of side impact (allowing air removal from the wheel space, good for grip), while the other cars would lose part/all bumper. A wise design.

I meant more they are both within 0.5s of Tanak.

Plus Greensmith stalled at the start and lost 5seconds...

Neuville seemed quite ragged, car bouncing all over

Ogier won 2015 and 2016 Swedens starting first on the road. Loeb did the same in 2004.

The point is that these guys didn't play these tactics, didn't give up points and they became champions.

and that's why they are the best and most successful drivers in the history :) point is point. better starting position doesn't guarantee you a win

Since Loeb is not there the Fords are falling apart and looking like last year.

Well did anyone really expected some results from Breen, Greensmith and Formaux in Sweden? They could drive any car and still would be underdogs in Sweden.

My understanding for why the Msport is so slow is because the Sweden rally have more long straight ,So there have less use for battery and more depend on the engine power. So we can see the Ford performance back to last year and the Hyundai also beome stronger suddenly, Is that right?

Breen's job was different in Monte - he had to finish and couldn't risk an off on the PS.

It's more likely to do with the gearbox.

There are much less options available for ratios / ramps with these new cars.

The way it is shaped really makes it look like they loose it on purpose.

That is somewhat confusing situation, I do not know what arch it was. Since he got a time and a fast one at that, he must have finished the stage OK and off was after flying finish. If by TK you mean time control (TC), then answer is yes. You have to follow route set in road book.

Sorry TK in swedish but TC in english.
I could not see that he went over the wall again so he must have passed TC on the wrong side.

Solberg has a car that barely moves forward.

Hyundai with more technical issues, but Msport with two engine? issues for Breen and Fourmaux is not a good look either....

Toyota laughing.

He drove the road out on the VIP parking lot.

Virtual #WRC drivers championship points after SS15 of Rally Sweden

42 Rovanpera

27 Loeb
22 Evans
19 Ogier
18 Greensmith
15 Breen
14 Katsuta
12 Lappi
10 Mikkelsen
6 Solberg
0 Tanak
0 Fourmaux

Tänak has a mountain to climb compared to Kalle. Doesn’t look that hopeless against others if he manages to get 5 points tomorrow

Kalle would have quite a margin already compared to others if he wins tomorrow

And that’s before the power stage tomorrow; Hopefully our Rally2 runners will manage to pick some points although I’m sure Evans, Neuville & Rovanperä will manage to post the 3 fastest times unless they make a mistake like today or their car lets them down.
