Hearing Neuville complaining about a wrong road set for the test. I wrote after I saw they were testing on Malonty that they selected too bumpy road representing only a small fraction of the total stage length. It would be good test stage for Barum but not for CER.
Tanak's comment seemed like a slight dig at M-Sport.
Molly asked "Can you win this event?"
Ott "Ha.....Maybe next year!"
I really really don't like how he always spits on his own team. A bit of decency wouldn't do any harm.Quote:

3 times Germany and now CER with Puma would be cool!

This is my video, Fourmaux really on the limit, almost off the road :D
Pickems closing time is 1400 hrs CEST.
SSS, but no spectator areas nowhere in the middle of the stage..
What is the logic for Cais opening the road and the next one is Rally1 car and Rovanperä?
edit: seems like some logistical challenge and starting order was changed on the fly
Ss2 should be dry or maybe damp but not much rain expected
But tomorrow is gonna be very very wet
Cais is the first car on the road today. It is on the Leg 1 starting order published last night. Giving the local hero the honors to start first on the first ever Czech WRC event.Quote:

It started raining quite a lot now
Rain is over now, conditions not fully dry but not enought wet for wet tires, Tanak will benefit there
Lappi tooQuote:

Re Any TNT Sports viewers -
SS2 is live on the red button due to all the live Europa League football.
I would say it's a proper stage..
Nice circuit-smooth-like sections
Overshoot for Evans.
Great start Evans. Not!! 11secs down on Neuville already, in a rally he needs to win
Tanak gambling w all softs.. and down on split..
Neuville with softs too
Evans overshoot...
https://x.com/autosport/status/1717575215893430619?s=20
Difficult to say which is the correct choice is here
Seems it was soft based on Neuville and Tänak
Toyotas going 191km/h on back straight
Ford 183
Didn’t see what Hyundai did
A bit over 190km/hQuote:

Evans needs to grow a pair and go for this rally. Otherwise serious questions will be asked whether he has the minerals to ever win a championship. Monza was a killer, but since then he hasn't shown me that ruthless edge all champions need/have
