Neuville must feel gutted about being the sweeper for his big rival Tanak.
*the car that is a WDC runner-up and teams champion.
Neuville on a flyer
The main reason for being manu champ is the epic fail of the 2nd/3rd Toyota drivers last year.Quote:

No Suninen splits again on WRC website ?
No Suninen splits?
Suninen lost half of gap already on 1st split

Unless there's some drama the places are virtually certain.
Last day of rallying in probably months.

Hope for some more before Rally Finland...
This is not trueQuote:

Yes, but we have seen that the power stage can be driven earlier in the rally (Wales 2018 or some earlier examples)
That's why I stated that only first part is true. Regulations also note that stage must be chosen in conjunction with the FIA and Promotor, meaning it is possible to deviate from regs if need be.Quote:

Tanak gets 2nd.
I've noticed that a couple of times this weekend, Tanak's look of disgust when they open the door and he hasn't yet got his hat out of the door pocket. That was the most obvious one yet! :D
Suninen overdrives himself
real shame about that mistake from Ott yesterday
although i doubt he would have kept Ogiers pace today but it would have been interesting fight for the win
Seems Ogier will match Loeb for 6 Mexico wins... but in 4 different teams.
he would even win with a bicyle here, he is just that good on this rally.Quote:

So what you guys saying is that Ogier would´ve won even if Ott and Neuville had no problems? Doubt that. Ogier would´ve been 3rd...
I didnt say that. Just the fact he will win.Quote:

Gryazin lucky, had a problem with the car and ended up spinning coming off the jump!
they were faster because Ogier wasnt pushing todayQuote:
