Nice tribute to Mads for his 300th rally
i know it is just stage 1, but still two Fords in top5, love it :D
E: after ss3 Armstrong is leading by 22.5s
What a morning loop by Jon Armstrong, absolutely outstanding !
Fantastic pace from Romet, 24th on the road and setting similar pace to everybody except Armstrong.
They've obviously found a cracking setup for the Fiesta.
Marczyk has a small detour and drops behind Mabellini. Game on...
Whatever Armstrong had for breakfast, I need it on weekdays.
Uh, Mabellini off they say. Oh well.
What a shame.
Armstrong with a puncture too but late in the stage.
this is getting intense... i dont know by memory the points these guys are fighting for.
jon is doing what he need to do so far, eh
So is Miko and he doesn't need PS points, even if Jon wins rally and PS. I think.Quote:

If Jon doesn't take the stage win, Jurgenson does :D
Go Ford!
Jon because of rally winsQuote:

Team MRF drivers are not doing too well either.Quote:

Not possible that it is only coming of being careful; with the worst result not being counted, he does not have enough margin on Armstrong if Jon winsQuote:

- finish 7th with at least 3 PS point
- finish 8th with winning the PS
With 15s before SS5 from 7th and 8th, he can’t afford such a big loss.
Technical issue?
Another great time by Armstrong. What a day he's had !
Now a MRF tyre puncture for Cais and dropping lots of time and places.Quote:

No one talks about Mille Johansson? Why? He does more than good, today.
Heavy rain. But, I think we've heard that before, including in Croatia, and had it mostly dry.Quote:

Now Michelin stocks is going up after this Marczky interview :D
And Marczyk on podium after Virves off
Armstrong back to being fastest on SS8 showing what's possible even on Pirelli's.
Beating the Michelin guys and his team mate by 20s. What a rain meister !
Virves goes off the road and loses his 3rd position to Miko.
So many "adventures" in this rally!
Antal Kovacs from Hungary (Hyundai) out of the rally.

Only two contenders left:

If I'm correct then Championship standing before PS:
1) Marczyk 146 - 13(worst rally) + 21(3.) = 154
2) Armstrong 113 - 0(dns) + 30(1.) = 143
Marczyk can basically cruise thru the PS to secure the title(ca 2min gap to 5th if Armstrong takes extra 5p)
