It does not help if you are not able to get top results. Now it would have been possible to take 1-2-3 for Toyota and help Tänak in the Championship battle, when he was ahead of both Neuville and Ogier. Hopefully Kris can secure the 2nd place!

Neuville is pushing like hell.
at 4th split Neuville 3,8 sec faster even with worst tyre condition from Ogier.
So fucking bummed about Latvala. Another rally where the chance to fight for a podium is stripped from his hands.
It frustrates me to no end especially because of how it'll look on his results card throughout the year. In points he's hopelessly last of the Toyotas but all of these times where he's been quick (partcularly now that he's quickest) will be forgotten come the end of the season. For everything he's got against him I don't think it's time for Latvala to retire yet.
Neuville -4,7 from Meeke at 4th split.
their gap is 6,7 sec
Neuville made a mistake between 4-5.split, lost to 2 secs to all.
Tanak really wants this sorted.
Tänak with 0km for a while
fck it!!!
Tänak stopped for a moment.
Am I only one getting the constant "heartbeat error"? Started to happen again today.
And how long does it take for ALL LIVE to show us what happened with Tänak? Does the production team know what "live" means?
Do you think that Tommi is satisfied with his results? Toyota is there to win the Championship and their drivers should get good results...
JML 2019:
Monte: 5th
Sweden: 21th (Rally 2: accident SS 8)
Mexico: 8th (Rally2: alternator SS 8)
Corsica: 10th
Argentina: 5th
Chile: 11th (Rally2: hit a rock -> driveshaft SS 12)
Unfortunately it can not be bad luck all the time...
So the Toyota stalled in a hairpin then...? Not exactly breaking news.
That was my point exactly in my earlier post: he actually is so unlucky that the only rally he's had without significant issues is Monte. In Corsica and Argentina he lost massive chunks of time with punctures and he even won the power stage and was well on the pace in Argentina.
The truth is that he still is very quick, but always pulls the short stick.
is tanak still moving?...his splits have stopped
Edited :: ok. they seems to have updated now...had me worried for a bit

Suspension damage for Tänak! Front right wheel bouncing around.. #WRC #WRCLive
Man that Toyota is made out of sugar.
I guess Ott is slowly having enough
so it seems we'll get an exiting day tomorrow.
Hard to judge since only Meeke drove all stages in full speed but while slower than in the morning loop the Toyota(s) weren't significantly slower than other cars in the afternoon.
Question is if that happened at the expense of a more risky setup which resulted in the damaged dampers on 2 out of 3 cars?
The Toyota suspension kept breaking the rims... now its breaking itself.

SS13: We had a warning light from the start of the stage and had to do it all with no hand brake. I had to work really hard to manage all the tight hairpins with no wand! Overall it’s been a good day though, hard but good #KM5

Like always it looks like Ogier will have the last laugh, while being nowhere near as fast. While the others relentlessly fight for victories while breaking their cars their goes him picking up every single possible point.
