Kinda like it...follow the first leg, then enjoy nice summer weather and do outdoor jobs, shopping...follow the second leg and start grilling, chilling, drinking, enjoying a nice saturday evening (last part not necessarily in the same order).:DQuote:

Quite interesting quote from Dani and Mikkelsen
https://www.facebook.com/RallyItalia...5359264895988/
As a translation of Andreas words: "Yes, I have a seat in factory Citroen, but now I must think twice, if I need that" :)
He's saying:
"The car is setup for a bad/slow driving style, have to change it".
Also he looks genuinely suprised when they ask about the balance under braking (like a small boy caught doing something). Probably didn't notice the replay with that part got out. Admits that they "have to work on that".
In a way that's what Ogier did with Ford, complained it didn't suit him (Tanak is more about throwing car sideways into corners) and after going into the dead-end in Argentina where it just didn't turn at low speed (see powerstage replay from there), they changed the diff for him for Portugal and he was back on top.
Correction of the translation: "It`s not a Polo." :DQuote:

He drove a Hyundai a month ago.Quote:

That about twenty are due to our positions ", slipped the world champion title to Olivier Gaspard, special envoy of the RTBF in Sardinia.
And to conclude, in a tone that sticks to his annoyance: "What I hope for tomorrow, that the weekend ends and that we go home." My speech is the same as last year, It's not the vision I have of the sport, it's not my vision, but it's like that ... Make a settlement for the losers, it's never been my vision ... "

Mikkelsen is a smart boy. Possible Lefebvre settings do not match Andrea's driving style. Some adjustments will certainly be made during the night.
What the f*ck? What Lefebvre settings?
oh. He looks like a child who has lost candy.Quote:

Who is the new commentator on the rally highlights ? At least they"re not Desborough ! ;)
So Red Bull showing the same live stage tomorrow as the TV... no 'extra' stage to watch on Saturday. :(
Sorry so much to you who are from the UK and someone else. It's no good that their favorites run out the first day. I hope somebody learns the exercises and takes adjustments as they come. It can be done overnight.
Shame Redbull TV aren't doing the whole highlight shows themselves...especially when they have Mark Webber alongside them!!Quote:

Not necessarily. On form Paddon comfortably has the measure of Neuville. Assuming Nandan gives him a car that can go the distance, today's stages will show whether he's regained his peak.Quote:

Maybe Meeke is making it look better than it is. Why would Mikkelson want to continue to drive this car.. it could damage his reputation.
That's how it is at every event. There's no such thing as a 'red bull stage', it's just a different lead-in and closing to a standard TV stage.Quote:

#Tyre Info - Day 2 morning:
Mikkelsen/Sordo: 5 Michelin LTX Force S5
Breen/Paddon/Ogier/Toyota: 2H+3S
Ostberg/Neuville/Tanak: 3H+2S #WRC
Dust a really really bad priblem for Mikkelsen..
Looking at the Highlights I have to say Breen's issue is also a little bit his fault.
The stone was not in the middle of the road, but rather on the outside and most drivers cut the corner. Yes he was following lines of other drivers but since the stone is clearly visible also on Ogier's onboard it must have also been visible in the recce.
Anyway questions for today:
- How much faster will Ogier get?
- Are Paddon and Østberg able to stay near top?
- Will Lappi and Hanninen keep the pace without that much road position advantage?
- Will Mikkelsen drive faster (even with worse road position)?
I'm sure there wouldn't be dust problems in the PoloQuote:
