Ogier and Loeb both the same tyres , 4 softs
Big time lose for Ogier in split 2 (+9s behind Rovanpera), the 4 softs strategy does not seem to work in the middle part with the ice
Not against Rovanpera but Ogier's fight is against Loeb who is on same set of tyres.Quote:

Oliver same time as Breen and faster than Evans...
Smart Ogier switched to match Loeb !
Big loss for Loeb.
I think the battle for first is pretty much over after this time loss from Loeb.
WRC2 drama wow
Big job by Ogier but still think Loeb may have made a mistake in the tyre choices, especially as he had the studs (Rovanpera told it would have been the better choice).
But big guts from the two.
Rossel takes 10s to Mikkelsen in split 2
Amazing drive from Ogier !!
to be fair he has had a lot of practice fixing those Hyundais :PQuote:

Why was Katsuta given a notional time and Super Rally mark for this stage? He made it to the finish!?
Rovanpera only +0.9s behind Ogier today, way better than yesterday. Finally, not a bad rally even if it should be short for the podium on a regular basis.
Good on Breen and Rovanpera, didn't find early speed but are driving smart and getting better.
Good on Neuville for bringing the car to the end of the day, shame he's in no man's land now and can only improve 6th if others hit trouble.
Great battle between the Sebs, too bad the gap got bigger...
And Gryazin is 5th overall todayQuote:

Quite sick. But when making rules they don´t consider these extraordinary circumstances. Stage time is stage time I´d say...Quote:

To be confirmed but it seems Solberg may finally reach the top-50 cut to be authorized to drive tomorrow (he is 49th now so in top-50 even if Bulacia makes Rally2).
Even in a difficult context, it is still some additional experience to take.
There is NO need to reach the top-50. EVERY P1 driver will be able to start on Sunday. See Bulletin No. 3Quote:

has Kalle commented what did they change or do?
amazing turnaround from two previous days
Here's a question for everyone: should Rovanpera push tomorrow and try to pass Breen?
He's quite a way behind Breen, but not ridiculously far behind.
He was closing this afternoon, but Breen was taking it easy and using old tyres to have fresh tomorrow. I'm sure Breen can speed up.
Speaking of which, if Rovanpera tries all morning he'll probably blow his tyres for the power stage. He might make more points concentrating on the PS than an outside chance of getting from 4th to 3rd.
Personally... I don't think he should in cold logical terms, but I think he will. And I'm looking forward to it. :)
Kalle must grab the chance now that Neuville,Tanak,Evans will score little to no points.
These chances doesnt appear often.
#WRC Following investigation on car #8, we can confirm that unfortunately Ott #Tanak and Martin #Jarveoja are forced to retire from #RallyeMonteCarlo

Village team.
Not worth the unnecessary risk, but if he smells blood (à la Sweden 2020 PS vs. Ogier) he for sure will go for it. On the other hand, he's about to score second highest points of the drivers competing full season anyway.Quote:

Kalle also has to think about Manufacturers points.
I don't think he will attack.
So they will win in Sweden like the other village team?Quote:

Sad state of affairs.
Front lights on new Huyndai was mounted into a bumper, so Oliver lost front bumper and has no lights. And must drive with no lights on public roads at the night? I think it banned and Oliver should take a DQ for that?

Exactly. He drives this rally with little preparation and 100% for fun. Also new codriver who struggles a bit with the complex notes of Freddy.Quote:
