Road looks like it’s really deteriorating badly already in places, second run could be awful.

Neuville has opted to carry less weight, with 1x hard compound and 4x soft compound.

Solberg thoroughly beaten by Fourmaux.

Re Fourmaux, M-Sport only have a skeleton service crew here due to covid travel restrictions.

Solberg's car crabbing apparently

Sounds like Solberg's car was crabbing at the stop control, could explain the poor time compared to Fourmaux.

Everyone had four softs on this stage anyway

The approach in Safari Rally Kenya should definately be not to rush from the start... I think this rally could even be won by Bertelli. ;)

It's his 1st stage on gravel in a WRC car - lets not expect too much. Especially on an event like this

He has some kind of issue causing his car to crab. I sure hope this rally doesn't end on day 1 for him already.
