Ogier just passed 20-20.2km mark now.
This looks like Neuville will suffer most, he needs to hang in for a better position tomorrow. No doubt Ott will push hard but keeping the solid 3rd place with no offs should be the priority for the rest of the day. Ogier is unlikely to be first on the road in Mexico, maybe 3rd or 4th,which will suit him.
he is not continuing today, citroen confirmed
Hasnt Ogier passed time limit and wont get time anyway?
i would say quite a good damage limitation from Neuville and Tänak.
Torsby is now equal or even better for them because its hasnt been run
The conditions look awful on the live video :(
back runners making huge gains between split 2 and split 3 , 4 secs compared to Neuville and Tänak
If we look back for 2018, JML and Teemu was really underdogs. But now they fighting for a rally win!
"I'm a bit annoyed by the stall. I don't know what happened."
- Lappi in various rallies in 2018... Oops, no, sorry, that was actually Meeke in Sweden 2019.
Tanak yes, but Neuville has made mistakes and damaged the aero so lost time by that more than by road position.Quote:

Evans also going fast again, Fiesta really loves these conditions
Evans could be leading without the spin in the morning.
Shame Evans mistake this morning... today was a great chance as Suninen has shown.
bertelli set his lights up according to his pace - good for watching squirrels :)

From a reliable source I´ve heard Grönholm rastart tomorrow. Happy for that.
For sure, why not, the car was already brought back to the service park anywayQuote:

So so lucky
Can't understand why Bertelli and Greensmith had the extra lights mounted on their Fiestas. There is no reason to risk damaging them. Plus, they come with some aero penalty. Maybe they didn't know how to mount them and preferred the mechanics doing it for them.
Ogier needn't be so down. He scored almost nothing here last season and still won the title.
wow, i dont remember when i last saw Ogier so letdown
I guess Ogier just realized that the C3 isn't the friendliest of vehicles available...
Ogier in interview said that they did almost 1km running to find spectators.
Sesks - out :(
1077/5000
Adamo will he dare to ask Loeb to lift the foot for Neuville?
Well ahead of his tenth place on the road, Elfyn Evans scored his second scratch of the afternoon and is back in fifth place after the ES7. Teammate Teemu Suninen remains leader of the event with a reduced lead of 5.0 on Jari-Matti Latvala and 13 on Ott Tanak.
Sébastien Loeb has gone back to 6th. The nine-time champion precedes Kris Meeke and Thierry Neuville, only 8th. Forced to open the road after the abandonment of Ogier, with a reduced aero following the loss of his right front wing and still very few nails, it will be difficult for the Hyundai driver to win more places in the regular . He would be in a very difficult position tomorrow. Will Hyundai then play it tactically and ask his star Seb Loeb not to attack too much in the last stage to let Thierry pass in front of him in the standings and thus trace him tomorrow? Answer in one hour, the start of the 8th special being scheduled at 17:14. (ODW)
But how many of us on forum knew the status of the car? I didn´t.Quote:

Yeah, they were about 15 secs before the off. Rallyspeedwise, that is.Quote:

Ott got mad it seems
Ottottott!
Nooooo Latvala :(
Jml off!
Meeke can't drive in Sweden lol.
Oh no Jariii! What a disaster for him - he could be mentally shot for the whole year now :(
Wow! - Meeke slow too! Anything can happen tomorrow!
