No explanation of reason for change has been given

Making everything harder for broadcasters, viewers ... One can wonder what was wise with such decision...?

Kalle 6.2 faster as Thierry on split 3

Kalle flying. So beautiful lines. He don´t need to follow anyone else!

But Elfyn even a fraction faster on split 2 compared to Kalle

Stage 10 results:
* 1-2-3 Toyota
* 4-5-6 Hyundai
* 7 Toyota
* 8-9-10-11-12 Ford

Besttime for Elfyn

weird this season in the sense that one rally one driver is so lost and next one is fastest

Toyota just 4,1secs away from 1-2-3 in overall standings.

Breen the disapointment of the season so far

Suninen keeps on posting besttimes in WRC2, in a league of his own. At least some positive news for Hyundai

Even weird to say, but he is maybe this rare case who matched with Hyundai better. He delivered really well with Hyundai.

Loeb stopped

Same here, he’s only done 9 events on the course of the 2019-2021 seasons and hasn’t done these events for 4 years, in Kenya & Greece he’ll be in even more of a deficit as everyone besides Lappi did them last year.

... and Tänak is going to opening the road.

Loeb restarted in road mode, driving slowly trough the stage

He also has more pressure now as the leading driver while he didn’t have that in Hyundai.

Also he did the same events all the time where the car was good

Ogier still didn't start the stage, 12 mins late allready

No power for Loeb, not even after he stopped for reset

Loeb lost power suddenly. Reset didn´t help.

Neuville started the stage, let's see when Ogier will pop up

Rain in the stage now, Fourmeauw went off, but continuing

I think she said something about Ogier starting when they were interviewing Loeb.

Still didn't start the stage, now he just started at 8h54, so twenty minutes late

Who could come in and help them?
Car has potential on both surfaces, so they need new blood!

Moves this one over to the M-Sport thread.

But Ogier was "only" 17 mins late on time control, so 2min50 time penalty

Ogier spun

So Ogier was waiting better starting position to drive off?

Ogier off!!!

Stopped

That’s karma “for us”.

Great job Ogier

Ref flag?

I just hope we see Lappi for the remainder of the season.

and stuck!!

I suppose they will stop the stage, as the car is driving line

Loubet off also, but going again
