Ok, now "the rally started", Evans is pushing nose touching the windscreen and Lappi is faster in 1st split.

Neuville's car had massive clutch smell on Elva stage end bit.
this rally is just like ypres but on gravel. small differences on every stage, nowhere to make up much time.
Kalle basically nailed the win by sneezing second by second with safe driving.
BTW I praised stage parking too early. It was a 2 hours chaos to get out from Otepää which continued with major traffick jams on following stages.
Such a shame that we've been robbed of a great Tanak vs Rovanpera battle here. We cant even see them fighting for just the fastest stage times with one or other opening the road on either days.
And now with Rovanpera heading for another win the WRC Championship battle is pretty much done again halfway through the year. A season that promised so much has turned to boredom.
I don't think tanak would be able to take on rovanpera here. At least not in the puma.
