borl day 2

This is what happens when you want to reach a level without respecting it, even if you have the possibility to compete there. This is the same reason why when Lappi won 2 rallies in a row I said he should stay in WRC2 at least another year (don't misunderstand I'm not saying Lappi and Bertelli are similar, Lappi do have hopes), and the reason why I said from the very beginning that Bertelli did not belong to the sport.
He did some good thing last year but he won Sardinia when every other competitors had problems, he took some good points on other rounds but he participated to extraeuropean rally with few competitors, he took 3rd place in Wales but with 2 minutes gap from leader.
He did not consider this, he just saw himself leading the category only because he did more rounds at the beginning. But the WRC does not forgive anything and now he is paying for his haughtiness toward the sport.
Too much excessive judgement? Maybe, but I see it form this point of view, WRC is not a game or a joke, is a serious thing in my opinion. It's not a question of achievements. For example I respect Prokop, he is slow but he has a role in the championship, he is a serious driver, works hard, knows what rally is about, do not blame his co-driver when he did bad events and do not retire before power stages to go home early.
So what you guys saying is that Tidemand outpacing everyone day 1 in Spain doesnīt mean anything to you. He still is just a mediocre driver.
Isnīt it a matter of how much you can drive rallies? Sandell to me did soemthing but lack of funding didnīt get him any chances to drive rallies.
Regarding Tidemand all bla bla bla about every other driver, including Camilli, Lefebvre, Kopecky, Ketomaa, Breen etz, being equaly fast or maybe even faster is total rubbish atm. Note this is a tarmac rally and not gravel.
Any video of Latvala puncture?
Seen some very nice action on the tarmac stages as well, especially from the R5 cars. Did only 3 stages today, we thought it was better to choose some spots we really liked, rather than just choose the easiest access for maybe one more stage. People who say tarmac is boring are clearly choosing the wrong places... :)

Tidemand is not mediocre driver. He is one of the best from young drivers on all surfaces. But letīs say on tarmac he has least experience. It is just...win last year Germany doesnīt mean anything. Nobody from us here knows how good the level of rallying in WRC2 is. And Kopecky is capable to achieve that and beat Tidemand. Just imagine situation: Rally Finland. Kopecky first and Tidemand second chasing Kopecky. Would you bet on Tidemand? I would. Finnish gravel is Tidemandīs surface. And this is Kopeckyīs surface. That is all. :)

Tidemand is leading because he did a great job yesterday and because of Kopecký's 'problem' this morning.
I believe without slowing on today's first stage Kopecky could have taken Tidemand today, but whether he would be allowed to is a different matter, especially now that Lappi is out of the title race.
