Exactly.

and now Pajari...

I don't blame Pirelli there, maybe it makes sense to not drive stages where 50% of competitors will have technical issues.

The entire field has been through once and the Rally1 cars twice by the time the Rally2 cars do the second loop, so unless they're gonna stop doing repeat stages on rough gravel rallies..

This situation isn't doing Pirelli or WRC any favours.

Maybe they should split it - Pirelli for tarmac and Michelin for gravel.

Or just leave their tires to Formula 1, only.

Such a shame for Tanak, had real good pace this morning.

Pirelli have absolutely killed wrc2, even with drivers taking it easy it's impossible to avoid every rock. The tyres are too brittle

Pity we didn't get to see Meeke on it due to his progressive damper issue.

Only 3 guys haven’t had punctures in rally2 class

Solberg, Rossel and Bulacia

Evans stopped on stage

Rovanperä Kalle - Halttunen Jonne
"The stage is in much worse condition than I was expecting, much rougher than last year."
