Theres always something wrong with Tänak or with his car.

Top6 separated by 7 seconds!


All these little margins are so crucial for tomorrow starting position

I have some dificult to understand this kind of comments.

At lunch break there are 9,1s between the top6 Rally1 cars, and 10,9s between top3 Rally2 cars.

Do i need to say more?

'Only' is an exaggeration, they will want to win both.

It's ironic that their leading driver is struggling so much when the other three are at the top.

That surely won't stay like that for long. I think there will be some drama this afternoon

Like Evans' co-driver reading notes from mobile phone instead of notebook?

Road position. Just because Neuville is doing a heroic job, doesn't mean cleaning shouldn't be taken into account. Surely nobody expected Evans to be close to Ogier and Kalle. The bigger surprise for me is Taka on pace with multiple championship winning team mates

I would say he is the next after Ogier. Last years Sweden and whole rally Chile are great examples of Tänaks tire preserving

Amazing ending from Sordo!

According to a source at either M Sport or Toyota (can't remember which tbh) Evans tyres were heavier after than Ogiers after use, which indicates that Evans is up there. Ogier is also very aggressive which is hardly easy on the tyres.

Nightmare rally continues for Evans.
