Watch more clips, kiddo, and go to bed early today.

That's the overshoot on SS3 that I mentioned, but collecting stuff together is too hard for brainiacs like you, much easier to just spam random insults.

As a Meeke fan, who thought "oh well that's that" at the end of day one, I'm quite pleased with this rally. Not so bad.

Meeke did what I thought was impossible from him. The only stage where C3s had top pace was the dry PS (both runs).

But he kept it together and just by staying on the road and not making big mistakes it's 4th place!! That's what I was missing from him before and especially last year, settling for some "worse" result instead of binning it. If he can repeat that and takes the wins where C3 is strong (sure looks strong for Corsica based on the PS here), he might be somewhere near the top of the championship by the end of the year.

Its not a coincidence that on the 1 proper dry stage Meeke was the fastest.

The laughable is that citroens plans for power stage, was maximum points for Breen, while Kris has to hold his position.
Nothing went as they planned.

I reckon he will be in a better place with a new team boss, rather that the previous chap, who seemed to do everything to demotivate him.

Different mindset will hopefully enable him to drive with his head more than last year.

Saying that, even if he does this, the car might be so bad that even getting a fifth or six on some rally’s might be seen as a ‘result’.

Ogier mentions again the new meteo guy. Bluuford have made a mess.lol

We had some changes in the team, some new engineers, a new meteo forecaster who is unfortunately from Estonia – that’s why we got it wrong sometimes! No, I mean when we know how hard it is, we have to congratulate all of them, they have all tried as hard as they can.

I highly recommend to watch onboards from SS9 (Ogier had few big moments, especially this where he destroyed rim)

end of SS12 on redbull TV, ogier gets the gifts from the french dude and complain about tricky conditions, and end up saying "l'annee prochaine je suis plus la" which means next year i wont be here...

Olivier Gaspard, the RTBF's special correspondent in the south of France, we were also able to show our speed and consistency afterwards, which bodes well for the rest of the championship. Sebastien Ogier rally? No, it's NOT his rally, he made more dumplings than us, with all the respect I have for Julien (Ingrassia, his co-driver, Ed) and Sébastien. There are two peeled and three sheared, one of which holds his GoPro instead of pushing the car, and when it happens to him, there are fifty spectators and they come right away. good time !"

Poor Jilsoul, too much time with Neuville has affected him.
