Not bothering Kalle. ;)
Ott very slow...
Tanak getting chewed up by Seb in here.
Ogier gave it everything and it seems to be paying off.
Neuville also slow in first split, stage not suiting hyundais?
Tänak quite frustrated with the dust and organizers
Teemu good 1st split !
Moaning too much imoQuote:

Yes Teemu - great time.
Seems to be a team issue.Quote:

Suninen decent time. Jumps ahead of Ott
Look at Loebs onboard
nothing to see basically
But still fast.Quote:

Loeb leading will work wonders for Ogiers motivation. Remember how it was when he led in C3.
Well, Ogier should keep level head and forget Loeb as his fight is for the title. And that means focusing on Ott, mainly.Quote:

(33 - Evans Elfyn / Martin Scott): In here we had quite bad dust so let's see.
Are you the only person who likes this rally? ;)
now if you watch splits, Loeb was the only one that was faster as splits progressed.All the others were slower,no matter the clean road
But still was slow at first split -2,3 sec to Ogier.
so tomorrows starting order
Loubet
Greensmith
Lappi
Tänak
Suninen
Rovanpera
Evans
Ogier
Neuville
Loeb
TOP10 separated by just 6.6 seconds
Tanak's lucky the M-Sports' went with the hard tyres or he could be last of the top runners. At least he has Lappi to sweep a good line tomorrow.
well you make your own luck and he was just slow on this stage but i understand him not wanting to take risks cause he still has a shot for the title. he cant let single mistake anymore bcs then its definitely gone.
long way to go still, a monster stage tomorrow morning
Is this just about the first rally where the Mk2 Fiesta R5 is fighting on the top in a decent competition?
No. Campedelli was second overall in Rally di Roma Capitale 2019:Quote:

For me this loop was very interesting. There is a huge cleaning effect in such stages, but, as we saw, there was also the advantage of no dust when you are first, also only two stages to get very important position for tomorrow, the is rather exciting setup. Also, no all day cleaning. And Ogier did good in this situation. Apart from that it was really nice that Loeb got the top spot.
TOP8Quote:
