Latvala turned in maybe 1 meter too early. From the look of the tire at the end, it probably just de-beaded, not even a puncture. That's messed up.

He’s smashed a good section of the rim away.

We could have had a 3-way battle for the lead going into the PS, with 3 seconds covering all of them. Fuck, I'm more pissed off even than Latvala right now.

I think Seb O will not want the win, better to start Australia 1 point behind than 3 points ahead

Sordo is in the worst position now from psychological point of view. He is at home soil he can fight for the podium but he must not because if he tries to attack Evans he attacks also Neuville. Must be very frustrating.

I figure that was from the few kms he had to do on the wheel rim. Doubt the rim would be cracked from just barely hitting a guard rail.

As I said, I think they can get timepenalties after PS, but it's with 10s steps..

At least one good thing has come out with Tänak having troubles on last two rallies. We have amazing battles for the win

Of course I would choose the other way but that’s how it is.

In the TV pics, two 2-3 cm long and 2 cm wide bits were smashed out from the outside edge.

No. You forgot PS points.

Not more than they need Neuville to finish ahead. Manufacturer points are secondary concern.

PS points for Sordo don't matter much do they? Unless he is ahead of Tanak/Ogier, which they can see after the stage.

Added emphasis on the important and relevant bit. Nothing more.

Only thing that would add more drama is if it starts raining for the late starters....

Is Loeb going to let Ogier win? I think so.

Here's the pic of Latvala's rim:

Quite a few bits missing.

I wouldn't want to be in JM Latvala's situation at this time. It must be a terrible storm under a skull.

I just fantasise over what could have happened if he hadn't had his puncture on Friday. Maybe he'd be going into the PS with a mega lead. It's a shame all his efforts and his quite frankly superb driving all weekend will go to waste like this.

Behind the main drama, Kalle increased his WRC2 lead over Jan. 16.9s between them now.

Lol you could tell Budar had to think hard not to get the Sebastien's mixed up and also not to talk bad about his future driver. "We need Sebastien...... Loeb, to win today".
