Rain reported near the end of SS6. Most of the crews are on hard tyres I think (at least Černý and Mareš are on medium afaik)

Still, this is an international field of drivers and the Italians are keeping up. Nobody would accuse Lukyanuk or Bouffier of being slow (and the Italians have worse conditions).

I think the issue has been financial rather than lack of talent. I would imagine this has been the case even more so in Italy...

Magalhães said after SS5: "Our car is a bit heavy, we have two spares. But I have not best tyre choice."

Can it be an advantage for him?

It appears that Lukyanuk lost a wheel, SS6 neutralized. (on rally rado, but not confirmed)

EDIT: Lukasz saw Luky on the side of the road, thinks Luky hit a rock, lost a wheel and stopped a couple meters forward so he wouldn't block the road, crew looked ok. Seems like the stage will restart soon...

It's been a real letdown this rally so far.. just one problem after another.

totally agree with you, stage delay, more that 50% from km of SS cancel and it is just first day

Lukyanuk didn't restart?

Suárez is doing pretty decent today. On the other hand, López has already retired with the same problem as yesterday-maybe he is in a rush to get to the Hyundai test? :D

Good morning for Kajto winning 3 tricky stages and some competition from Bouffier and the recovering Suarez.

Mares has been starring in the U27 taking the lead from Huttunen. One poor stage from Ingram dropped him to 3rd.

Onboard Lukyanuk's crash: https://www.facebook.com/FiaEuropean...4643806995538/

I don't understand why the stage was canceled. He stopped in a safe place.

Maybe the wheel plus suspension didn't stop in a safe place at night Mirek?

Bouffier back in the lead.

Nice battle for the lead... but after yesterday's BRC win by 0.1s its not that close ! ;)

Bouffier by 0.3s !!

Great finish to the event; well done to Bryan & Xavier. Have to say, it looked quite a nice event. A shame we still can't get decent TV coverage, the highlights are all too brief.

What a day for Czech colors! I'm going to take a shot :)

Absolute victory of Bouffier goes also to his Czech team, U28 victory is taken by Černý and what is for me the biggest achievement is a victory of Mareš in U27 by pure speed over the works Opel crews!

Congrats to Bouffier and hats off to Kajto; this time he pushed like a champ! Nice podium for Magalhães.

For next year, Eurosport must deal to get Italian crews into the main event; having local drivers fighting with ERC regulars is always a plus to the series.

Thanks, I didn't know about it. I hope the crowd-funding campaign was successful. I saw an interview with Zawada yesterday on Eurosport where he said he is going to be present also in the last round on Latvia.

Exactly! Congratulations to Mares! What a fantastic achievement of this young Czech driver! First Zawada (on Barum Rally) and now Mares proved that it is possible to beat the official Opel team with a private car! :)

At the Frankfurt Motorshow the boss of Skoda Czech Republic said they would like to create a programme to develop young Czech Rally talent, perhaps he is a candidate..

Chris Ingram back into the lead of U27.

Can someone work out what he needs in Latvia to be champion ?
