Tänak has not moved forward for 40min, I smell retirement here.

Yesterday Loubet said he had power loss after every water splash

But let’s wait for the comments afterwards

Suninen quite lost as well...

Tänak has not moved 50+min and no-mention or detection from ALL-live team - it's quite impressive as well

I think it's time to create one tiny river to M-Sport testing ground England.

edit: now live stream Tänak working on car, but it's at least 20min to start to the stage and he pretty much need to start the stage now (in 3min).

This sport is for smart people, after a 20km high-speed section to shut down the engine at 300-700 degrees turbo temperature and other things is simply suicide of the technique. If you don't like it, watch CHESS...

900-1000 i would say.

In the weather forecast there is now even more rain than yesterday

Quite bad for Rovanperä as well - fighting to get better position on Friday and now Loubet, Takamoto and Tänak are not cleaning road anymore, Sordo takes it easy so basically he has 1.5cars before him to clean the road and has again quite some disadvantage.

And stage delayed..

another rally where Neuville is super fast at Saturday,and not so fast at Friday.
seems 90% of his rallies are like this.

Fourmaux best Ford now :D
