Somebody knows the rules for starting order for rest of the field?
Solberg started as 31. similar to yesterday even though he was 18th or so, so I wonder if he will drive so late also tomorrow.

All WRC, then all WRC2+WRC3 and then the rest... In this term of rules, Solberg is "nobody" on Monte.Quote:

We will fight back soon!

Having watched now that Tänak crash like thousand times with different vids, it was the second bump which was nail in the coffin. it seems he would have made it after that first but then the second one just makes him and Martin travelers.
but it was so lucky one, massive massive crash and thank god no one wasnt at the side of the road there or something like that. The last time he had a crash massive as that was in Finland 2016.
the most painful thing is the rally is over and they cant get the experience with the car, just two test days and 3 stages so far with the car. with Sweden being questionable and you never know, the next event may even be Mexico for them.
But the pace was more than i expected, out of the 3 stages on 2 he was faster than Neuville (ok Neuville had that mega time on stage2) which i didnt expect at all before the season.
But the record with consecutive stage wins stopped now.

Lopez for 2nd day

Can't understand the hype about Mads :D yes, he's a nice guy and loves rallying a lot, but don't see him being hired by some teams anymore. having already a lot troubles in WRC2..
It's quite amazing that after doing 54% of the rally the top three is separated by only 6.4 seconds. And I'm sure Tänak would have been in the mix as well.
no one in their right mind would hire a new unproven kid to fight for the manufacturers title against loeb and sordo. a fourth car yes, to learn the car and the rally's.Quote:

We desperately needed 4th guy at the top and by the looks of it we got it. Very very interesting season ahead.

What Østberg said in an parcferme.no article, i say probably Rovanpera because he was supposed be in the army but that wouldn't work with a full season so he left after 2 weeks was it?Quote:

Østberg has an advantage to most other rally2 drivers, he has driven top-class cars for many seasons, and he is used to drive at higher speeds than rally2 cars can achieve.
That is why he says he need to keep concentration and focus, his head and capabilities are not maxed out.

Suninen was close too:

Sébastien Loeb

Day 2
✅
And under these conditions, it's already a small victory! P4 tonight, behind the #WRC leaders, it's a good position for @HMSGOfficial
and the “Manufacturers” Championship

We would like to be more ahead, for sure, but for the moment, we cannot
veeeery close!!Quote:

Even though they didn't initially impact anything, the first hit into the field was horrific in its own right. We could have been reflecting a very sombre day and they, along with everyone who cares about the sport have had a massive let-off.
I wonder what his reaction will be. Surely that's got to have some mental impact, but I guess we hear about the mindset of top drivers in all disciplines and their ability to just crack on with the next one. Sending him wishes he can do that and get himself back to speed soon enough.
The positive has to be Evans. Let free from the shackles at M-Sport and with such a good car, he goes and nails Ogier for most of the day... what better accolade can you possibly have than being quicker than Ogier on the Monte? No matter what he does for the rest of the rally, he's made his mark more than even when he won in Wales. He's growing stronger in confidence and ability still and I would love it (and not be surprised) if he's running at the top for a long while now.
Thats so ridicilous fairytale storyQuote:

I'm one of Evans' biggest fans, love the pace he has shown and hope he can convert this to at least a good podium. But tarmac and changeable conditions has always been a strong point of his, nevermind tackling these conditions in a better car than the Fiesta.Quote:

But I'm sure everyone wants him to, and Toyota need him to as well if they are to fight for the manufacturers.
What shackles at M-Sport, he was team leader last season ?Quote:

The Toyota is a top machine and the team has big bucks so he has no excuses now. Time to deliver.
