Yeah, this and also all of yesterday morning loop (albeit with some start position advantage).Quote:

and Ott just 4 secs behind Neuville but im afraid he will drop even more now with no spare and confidence gone.Quote:

Good run through a very slippery SS9 - only 11.5s off the stage win, and that's after losing around 15s with a stall early on! Ready for a snowy SS10
Monte is a love/hate rally for me.
There are always changes and surprizes both in weather and due to that driving conditions.
some drivers can thrive in a stage like this and some others loose a whole rally by a puncture or a small off.
We have unsung heroes like the hugely important ice crew. They should be nemed in the startlist. Without them you are 100% lost, due to fast changing conditions. Kudos to all ice crews this year as well - hat off!
Next stage is supposed to be full snow, same again, but we can see different crews going fast compared to a black ice stage.
Ogier and other locals, that have been playing on roads like this since 18 yo, same with Nordic drivers have an advantage from playing around frozen lakes and normal winter roads!

this is a proper monte stage!
Mads comments is really good, all the time!!
Seems that WRC broadcast removed cancelled SS8 totally from their system and we're just now on SS9 which was the previous stage :confused:
Loubet just before a breaking point from high speed and they change to GG... Man! We want to see action. Not a steering wheel...
SS8 was canceled 2 weeks ago already, with their revised itineraryQuote:

Tänak +28 lol
this is miserable from Ott
Tänak stopped
It´s not for changing wheel I guess...
he let Ogier through and now continues, weird
why they dont show us what happened with Tänak=
Probably another puncture and they just limping to the end to not stay on the stage.
Would be my bet alsoQuote:

terrible rally for Ott which started off very good
i hope he manages to get into end to continue today and tomorrow
could the surface be polishing that much so soon?
Ogier with helmet not "belted"
must beQuote:

Rather more slushy...
Looks like Hyundais are better set for snow.
Ogier has unbottened helmet.
Agree, the slush can make the difference..Quote:

Leclerc drove with unfastened seatbelts, FIA did nothingQuote:
