Check that out on alllive vids.
I am 100% sure it's an ironic reference to what Tanak said after first stage today. Just watch the smirk on his face and the way he says it.

Interesting rally, looks like Ott has now cemented his position as team leader at Toyota. Citroen finally have a proper fast car.
With Ogier and Neuville having a weak rally, if Ott wins he keeps an outside hope to the title open.
Can't help but remind myself that this rules shake-up and VW retireing has brought a new golden age to the WRC with multiple possible rally winners, a proper fight for the title and great cars. It hasn't been this good since early 2000's.
SAT 10:52 - SS14: DUST
We're getting reports of hanging dust at 17.1km, that will make this stage even more challening for the following crews.
finally a good split from Ogier.Lets see if he will continue like that
down to 1.3 in battle for 5th
Mads and Ott just crazy. So fast from the beginning
anyone found some pictures from Finland of Ogiers Fiesta dampers?
Rovanpera faster from Mikkelsen at first 3 splits
Evans back below Ogier purely on speed...
Ogier: "A little bit better this one, I'm changing set-up every single stage. Struggling a bit with the new aero on the rear."

#WRC Tänak equal stages win with 10 wins same as #RallyArgentina / Also Toyota GAZOO Racing break his record of stage wins with 11 (equal record as Hyundaï in #RallyItaliaSardegna ) ► http://bit.ly/XL8nl9
Expected more from Ogier but probably the new aerodinamics (plus new suspensions) is not perfect. If he doesn't have troubles he has 6th place guaranteed anyway, with Neuville stuck in 10th.
SAT 14:43 - QUOTES FROM THE DRIVERS
The top three crews gave their thoughts on the morning loop, this is what local favourite Jari-Matti Latvala had to say: “We have two sets of dampers, we have been running in the morning with the softer set-up. We’ll be going onto the harder set-up this afternoon on the rougher stages so the impact on the car doesn’t feel so bad inside. “Østberg has been driving very well, I’ve been driving this speed and enjoying it but today I can’t get much more speed out of myself. We still need to keep the speed on.”
"This rally is complicated and curious, even on the second day, there are still gaps, we wanted to try an aero that brings us new things, but we do not control it completely yet. , hesitation is scary and it's wasting time It's a matter of trust and mastery of the car It's a bit of a hassle at the moment What you need is to pick up some points in Neuville By finishing 7th, we would take few units.It will have to whip until the end of the year, "said Julien Ingrassia, co-driver of Ogier, our microphone this Saturday.
And to add: "We clearly used a team instruction Friday with Evans, I do not know if we will do the same with Suninen (note: currently 6th) if necessary." I do not know if Malcolm Wilson, boss of the team , in any case, he's the boss and he knows how to win a championship.We want to fight on a regular basis.If our teammates can not win the championship, Wilson will not let this one escape for one or two units. "

The welsh stage end reporter whose name I can't spell always asks strange questions to Ogier and Ogier always responds with sarcasm.
I have a feeling those two are not the best of friends.
Emyr Penlan is Welsh and and a huge Evans fan, so ...
Mads havent got to be so relaxed.Gap now at 17,6 sec from Latvala
Citroen+ Tänak with 2 spares.
Mrs Kaisers pet needs all the help he can get here... suninen and Evans will obey.
