Evans maybe in the dust of Ogier?
I was amazed too but with three minute intervals he knew he'd be off before next car.Quote:

Yes that is correct. This just proves the GOAT and the young GOAT are human after all. 😀Quote:

I think that Kankkunen was (and is) far too jovial guy to even know any swear words.
I was expecting Kalle to destroy the field with this road position to be honest but props to Elfyn. I also really like what I am seeing from Pajari. That boy is coming !
Having said what I said, didn´t mean I´m not agreed to what your saying. On the contrary.Quote:

I wonder who is more childish - Ogier (and Tänak) with their stage-end interview or you crying about it. :) For now, I think we have heard from everyone what they think about it, it's naive to think that you are going to convince others to change their mind for your liking.
Double puncture for Martins and only one spare unfortunally
Sesks double-punture and now spares, so it may be retirement for today.
Not so sure considering what happened with Fourmaux and Lappi (+ Kalle has not made much better than Evans)Quote:

Lappi holding back to put another sweeping car in front of Neuville and Tanak for Saturday?
Chance for Neuville after Ogier's puncture. But Tanak still in front of him and Evans leading. Thierry has to drive smart and bring points home, one puncture and he's back behind Ogier.
I wonder if evans or kalle would back off for Ogier's here. I would assume not, considering he didn't back off when evans needed him to.
Evans is 14 points behind Ogier, if he has a good rally vs a bad rally for Ogier, he could be the best placed Toyota before the last 2 rounds.Quote:

Absolutely notQuote:

I hope he did not ruin too much of what he has built so far. At the moment it seemed like over-pushing instead of collecting experience. At least he gets more TV-time tomorrow.Quote:

I’ve said it before and now again, it’s ridiculous to send a car half way round the world and retire it for a puncture. There has to be a better solution than that for teams, drivers, spectators etc.Quote:

In the case of someone like Sesks who is only there for experience it was pretty stupid to send him out with just one spare. Plus he couldn't really compete properly anyway in the non-hybrid version so an extra wheel was no issue. A real waste of a days rallying.
Didn't he had 2 spares but 3 flats?Quote:

oh man thats such a bummer =[
50% of my interest in this race is basically gone
Crazy. There should be the option to drive the afternoon loop but no times awarded.Quote:
