Visually Tänak looked by faaaar the slowest of all, seemed so slow i thought he will lose like 4 secs by the middle of the stage, and then in the end, that time.
the rain is still falling, Neuville will be smiling his ass off while sleeping. Gonna be very interesting tomorrow.
Without the spin Kajetanowicz could have had a very good start. 5th fastest overall time in the split with the Polo R5
Thought the same watching Meeke. Presumed he was going to lose a bit of time as per on super specials as he looked slow, but came through fastest at the time. With conditions such a mess and the gravel section being difficult, it shows being neat and tidy was the way to go. Amazing where Tanak found that extra time (easily) against the rest of the drivers.Quote:

and here we go...

⚠️Special Stage 3 Amboy-Yacanto has been cancelled.
Let's hope we don't lose a whole day at least....
Did it rain heavily overnight?

#tyre info - Day 1 morning
All the Michelin @OfficialWRC drivers with 5 MICHELIN LTX Force Medium (M6)
Looked to me very neat on the roundabouts, while most were sliding all four wheels on the roadway, Ott held it tight with inside front left wheel on the raised curbed section tight against the roundaboutQuote:

Hopefully the stage can be run in the afternoon
Hello everybody. Here we go, at least for one stage... to begin with.
Bad news due to weather situation.
Stage is live, but no pictures...Neuville already clocked the first split
No live pictures at all from the stage.....
3 minute gaps
No pictures yet... :(
Ogier down 0.4s on first split
And 1.7s faster on second split
Useless bast*rds, no doubt about it
lol wrc+ is totally messed up
some worker even stepped in front of the camera
Tänak 1.4 s faster on first split and Ogier 3.0 s faster on third split.
This is what it was like at the time of WRC Radio :D
Tanak 3.5s up already... no advantage to Neuville opening the road.
So stages will be cancelled and the ones that are run are not shown? Nice, motherfuckers.
It seems Neuville is still clearing the road a bit...interesting to see how it becomes for the later runners. Will it get very rutted up or cleaner?
neuville is slowQuote:

Obviously they have technical issues. Weather surely playing aout a role.
Let´s be patient maybe another minutes, folks.
What a joke this is
Neuville completed the stage, 36 seconds slower than last year's fastest time.
Blaming the mountains.
Ogier 4.8 seconds faster
Wow Ott's last split....10.1 seconds faster than Neuville!
Thats Ott, just doing his job.
And Meeke even faster than Ott on split 2
Meeke even faster than Tänak
Ott killing it. Superb. Evans not so fast - ended the stage well
Meeke going well...
Lappi also very fast, getting now better for late starters? Evans has also hold the gap now with Ott
Evans 2nd so far.
