I just hope he doesn’t bin it in the process, although he has probably done enough for his career even if he does.
Tanak has been very good, a car not too his liking and bad road position.
Neuville has done well, in the fight, but he sounds like he doesn’t expect to be able to keep up with Tanak tomorrow.
I’m still baffled by Rovanpera, can it really just be the tyres?
Evans did ok, difficult to really know if he is getting the most out of it or not.
Fourmaux sorted it out this afternoon, very good speed. Will be impossible to gain back what he lost this morning though.
Taka anonymous
Pajari unlucky with the issue
The best that can be said about the MSport guys is they are there as roadsweepers for the Toyota and Hyundai cars tomorrow so nobody quick has to go first on the road.

I have always admired his ability to communicate with his engineer, and thus create maximum feeling with the surface and what he can thus allow himself of speed in different combinations, but if you lose the feeling with the surface, the speed will be reduced and may be the reason why you may go off the road.
Tires my well be the reason why you lose this good feeling with the surface and also make it difficult to have good communication with the engineer.

Regarding Kalle, it really is the tyres.

Kalle showing pace now...

Kalle showing good pace now...

Tanak has bad split 4...

Back on speed on split 5 so it's not a big problem, thankfully.

Missed a chicane

I have a feeling Solberg's gonna win it

obviously early days but 20 seconds is a huge lead here

Rookie mistakes from Tänak.

Unbelievable. Should concentrate taking second now

We are on on equal road positions and Solberg still has the pace. Without mistake, Tänak would have taken the stage with 0,1secs, only. Oliver is now uncatchable with clean drive.
