That’s what he’s there for!
So hypothetically what position could Breen have finished in?

Reason they did this now is to get him to start the PS ahead of Neuville. With Greensmith and Meeke out he'd be 2nd WRC on the road otherwise.Quote:

6th...don't think he would have caught Mikkelsen, as he said the experience gives Andreas the edge.Quote:

At the moment bigest fan of Ogier must be Neuville. If Seb passes Mikkelsen, Thierry could climb up two places closer to Tanak by team strategy. #WRCLive

no need Ogier beat Mikkelsen
.. for the moment
Ogier 10pts
Neuville 6pts
--------------
if strategy then
Ogier 12pts
Neuville 10pts
Wtf is this planetmarcus thinking. He beats Neuville by 2 points this way but also loses to Tänak by 2 more points. One has to assume at this point Tänak is his biggest challenger for the title.Quote:

Because half of the strategy was already applied (Breen's penalty). The quoted twitter posts is probably older than that.Quote:

The good thing for me is Lappi holding his 2nd place. He really wouldnt have deserved to have had to drop that to help Ogier.

Kris Meeke - bloody hell, how stupid can you be. 40 years old, getting sacked last year for exactly this kind of stupid shit and just keeps going like that. Nobody else to blame but himself.
Started this year appearing all cool and confident with high hopes. Now half a season in, he hasn't proved any change except for his offs to be less dramatical compared to in the Citroën

This helicopter video from half a kilometer distance is nicely showing the Finnish nature but not much more...
So I guess it's Tanak for the win...the question is can Ogier defend his title this year or....well just Ogier, don't think IMHO Neuville can stop either of them...
We will see, it's been an interesting and close year. When one driver is pulling away, next rally they have a bad one and the other catches up.
I would not bet on Neuville however, I think the title will be between Tänak and Ogier. Tänak is who I'd bet on, depending on how many problems the Toyota will give

Spectacular drive from Kristoffersson :) The Polo looks ridiculously soft but it works obviously.
Where is Camilli?
Pity no Ouninpohja jump anymore. This one coming right at the end of the stage isnt that special with no corner to follow.
Gryazin finishing ahead of Huttunen is maybe a bit surprising. I think it's first time in Rally Finland for Gryazin?
Camilli seem to start three positions later than he should have done. Also very cautios on the jumps. Is it him or the issues Suninen had in Estonia are not solved?
yeapQuote:

quite heavy landing on nose for Kalle
Hat's off for Kalle and Jonne!!! Great driving through out the weekend. :)
Also good performances from Nikolay/Jaroslav and Jari/Mikko.
I think he did that by applying brakes in not the most convenient moment.Quote:

Mad jump by Ogier... but no corner to follow.
For next year they need to cut forest from other side of the road and dig canyon. Then helicopter can get Rally Azores type of footage. :rolleyes:Quote:
