Tanak on a charge this morning.
Suninen +21sec ... You have problems? - Maybe the driver problems :D
LOL Østberg and co-driver in-car conversation:
"It's difficult to push hard now"
"Why?"
"Cause I can't drive a car" :D
Suninen's end of the stage comments are hilarious :)
Poor Ostberg can't beat Breen!
Really good performance by Breen so far...
Great time form Breen!!! And looking down to splits nobody can improve so far!
Go Breen!!!
Mikkelsen poised to take the lead...
I think that Tanak will be the fastest man today
Tänak is a morning person it seems
And Breen was closer to frontrunners!
GOOOO BREEEEENNN! :)
did they mentioned paddle shift problem for Neuville?
Great time by Breen, nice to see!
Katsuta have some troubles at 1st split and drop 2 places overall at the end of stage. Tidemand now rally leader!
Breen a very positive surprise so far. Who said that the C3 is slow: :p

Østberg is doing also great with it. Don’t forget that it’s his first time with the machine
Sometimes the road position is an advantage not a disadvantage though - was Ogier complaining about unfair road order at Monte when he was gaining advantage with good road position for the conditions each day and others like Breen were losing so much time? Was he complaining previous years when Sweden didn't have much snow and cars down the order were losing their studs in the gravel? Sometimes the advantage/disadvantage is predictable, sometimes not. Rallying is affected by nature and weather, its just the way it is.
Apart from Breen, the results on Torntorp were Toyotas, Hyundais, Citroens, Fords.
It's not a slow car. It's just got a narrow operating window and can take a lot of risk and aggressive driving to get the best out of it. A slow car doesn't win rallies, and Meeke has already won rallies in it don't forget...
Great to see Breen on it this morning. I'd expect a Hyundai fight back on the next few stages judging by Mikkelsen's and Paddon's comments, and if Neuville can maybe fix his hydraulic issue

Looks like Torn blocked road and all other cars forced to stop
Go Craig - what a year this could be for the Championship
I'm always a bit confused what to listen: rally radio with useful info or sound from livestream with rallycar sound and less useful info... and we have Jon here so my choice is clear - RallyRadio!
Sorry EstWRC and other Estonians:

Ken Torn stopped at SS9 Torntorp after rolling FiestaR2. Crew OK
Looks another starting time adjust and now for Lappi. And he "down" 1min on splits
Lappi on problems,or time glitch? +48 at 1st split
Lappi no, but Sunninen - yes
Something happened to both Hyundais, Breen will lead the rally.
I think Breen got a lead after this one :D
If splits are anything to go by, then yes. But they've been very unreliable of late...
