Ott after SD: It's (win) not coming from us. There is no feeling in the car. Finland will be difficult.
Looking Ott from SD, it was so unstable. Ott had to correct so many times.

This is just so sad to read
Already given up
Solberg with a spin and a heavy landing...
Evans with a big slide on the first left
Ambulance on shakedown, for spectator
Tänak did 2nd run in Toyota? :D
Could have been even little faster. A little wide in our place and couldn’t turn right awayQuote:

Regarding the comment on first pass from Tänak.
nevermind, Kalle didn't leave it so.. fastest so far, 1.56.9
Almost 138 km/h average. Crazy fast stage. The rally will be slower.Quote:

let's hope Tänak can pressure them a bit when rally starts too..
Actually I think it was genuine because when they showed onboard from his car, he was correcting all the time. And when he was speaking with Estonian media yesterday, he was calm and rather positive, saying it will be hard but he will fight. After first pass he was hopeless. But, let's see, maybe it was just the first pass and they could make some changes.Quote:

Am I right that Yle TV2 is showing first stage live but a little later?
19.30 is the start time
Yle is showing all stages live this weekend using WRC+ All Live footage.
AFAIK Harju starts 19:08 but the WRC+ live stage starts at 20:00. So basically there's first one hour of cars that are not broadcasted live. The YLE broadcast meanwhile starts at 19:30 with a half hour preview section.

I think they are country-restricted but maybe you can watch them if you are situated in Finland?
Neuville is equally sounding downbeat after SD: "In this context, it's difficult to make a Top 5..."Quote:

Meanwhile on his Twitter feed Neuville is keeping up his generosity: For @RallyFinland I’m happy to support @HelsinkiMissio. It’s a non-profit charity that takes care of children, adults and the elderly suffering from loneliness in Finland.

During these years 7 WRC stages, the Belgian driver will not have taken home any victory, but he won everyone's hearts thanks to his goodness and his altruism. Simple gestures within everyone's reach, which do good to people less fortunate than us, to the flora and fauna that surround us. Gestures from which we all can have to learn something.
Thanks a lot!Quote:

A huge mistake from the marshalls to let a kid onto the live stage with a bike or then the kid tried to be smart and went through the forest. The junction on the right does not lead anywhere but there's a house on the other side of the road.Quote:

Is there anybody expecting a driver other than Rovanpera to win this weekend?
Ban Finland off the calendar!
It's a bit harsh to blame the marshal or organisation. Some people are just thick, obstinate, arrogant and/or misguided.
Maybe Lappi, but tbh Rovanperä seems as if he's in the mindset that he has this one in the bag.Quote:

But a bike doesn't step onto the stage so easily. A bike cannot be ridden in a forest, it should always come from a junction, and every junction should have a marshall controlling the traffic. It should be akin to a car entering the stage. To me it seems like a local kid who lives along the stage having some play, or maybe thinking the stage is already over. On a shakedown you can have long pauses at the end but still cars coming at full speed.
I have never insisted on using banning any WRC rally. But yesterday I was reading on the official WRC Ypres Rally 2022 website and regarding spectators came across this:Quote:

So I guess this is valid for every WRC Rally
I agree, thanksQuote:
