you just asked and answered your own question :D
i wouldnt call this domination any way https://www.ewrc-results.com/leg/523...lo-2019/?leg=3
but great to see him fast again, said they made changes to the car
Mikkelsen in 2011 and 2019 https://twitter.com/voiceofrally/sta...03933572820992

He see possibility to make 3rd position and jump into a rhythm immediatelyQuote:

Thats how I saw it too, I don't think he was ever going to make it at that speed (maybe on a clean dry road, but its Monte) - though if he'd had a better line with later apex he might have got away with glancing off the face of the wall instead of what looks like catching the end of it.Quote:

What are you on about?Quote:

Greensmith top Ford then.....
Yesterday Tanak was out from podium already from start, because of cancelled SS3. Mentally and also tyrewise.
Today is Another day.
Evans car should not be able to drive any more. Like someone said. Looked like an Heavy impact.
Gutted for Mikkelsen, Evans and Lappi but the win figth (and P3) is still on. Greensmith is doing a great job but with this absurd WRC2 split Bonato may start to get defensive; he’s a relaxed leader on his category.
Well we had 2 stages on thursday. Also a long liaison in the evening to Monaco. Two years before they only did a fifth stage on Saturday afternoon. Not much difference.Quote:

Ogier/Suninen/Latvala/Meeke: 4 PA studded + 2 SS6
Tanak: 4 PA no studded + 2 SS6
Ott is crazy if that is right
Oh my GOD!!Quote:

If the snow turns into slush with no ice below then non-studded tires are as good as studded and better on the dry. If only top layer of snow is slush and the bottom stays hard you have extremely slippery surface, more slippery than "dry" ice.
Maybe Bluuford just did a magic. :)Quote:

Meeke loves it ! ;)
nice one Ott!
Tanak didn't suffer snowy/icy sections...
Don't know if it was mentioned earlier . a good site for splits is Michelin ;

On the website -20,9 was originally at 4th and 3rd was over 2 minutes behind. The 3rd was taken away and 4th moved to 3rd.Quote:
