Yes I can confirm, a lot of rain.
Neuville fastest (of 4) in 1st split
Evans lost 13sec split 3
Evans +13, Ogier again mastering it
Ogier's rear left (stud) seemed like puncture/empty? no?
Wow and Evans is usually good on wet tarmac.
ooj ooj, Ogier is da master. (Tänak is losing even more than Evans)
Tänak loses even more
Tanak having problems with the car again. windscreen misting up.
Great time by Kalle Rovanperä.
Sordo woke up finally.
And Sordo comes alive.
Sordo needed a couple of stages to get speed and rhytm. Normal thing. Can apply on myself back in the days... Three four rallies local rallies ever y weekend in a row made me quite fast... :) :)
So Ogier won all stages today....
E: not, Evans got one
That's a cracking time for Greensmith.
Loubet crashed in a hairpin.
Loubet big off.
Nasty one for Loubet
Solberg testing full speed, but something happened. Lost over one minute between split 1 - 2
Edit: red flag for Loubet
Looks like the stage was red flagged after Fourmaux.
Latvala is hired to talk, Kaj Lindström is the actual Boss in the Toyota :)
Stage cancelled
Fourmaux:
"There may be some snow tomorrow and a lot of things could change."
Exciting but early morning tomorrow for us fans. Even earlier for some... ;)
Oliver Solberg:
Now we wait and see if the snow comes overnight to cover the 3 stages we tackle tomorrow - I have my fingers crossed !
Ogier really wanting to win this, sayin it himself in the media area, that he is also taking risks for it
MEDIA ZONE: OGIER
"This afternoon was like expected. Much more muddy and degraded conditions compared to the first pass. It was still enjoyable to drive with the winter tyres. Of course, for us, the big issue was the puncture which cost us a lot of time, but I think we did the best we could do today.
"I came here to win this rally and I'm going to do everything to make that happen. I think we were pretty unlucky with the puncture but there is nothing we can do about that."
MEDIA ZONE: TÄNAK
"The main thing is we are here. It's been a demanding day and every hour the conditions have been changing. It's only Friday and there are two days to go, so it's far too early to focus on position. It's more important to focus on how to manage these kinds of conditions.
"It's obviously not working today. Maybe different roads and different characteristics. We are okay on the uphill roads, but on the downhill bits we are missing a lot and there is a big job for the engineers to find out what is happening. It's mostly in the downhill braking sections where I am not getting any feedback."
