It’s not that bad for Tänak at all actually
It’s the first bad rally of the season for
Him, I’m sure Evans will also have one almost zero rally or low score one.
Yeah he will leave about -20 points to Evans after this rally but that means again better starting position for the next two rallies before two tarmac rounds
In the last few seasons only Kalle dominated while opening the roads on "gravel season" and he was purely dominating on few occasions (specially in the season where he won the 2nd title if I recall correctly..). Also it shows how great Thierry did last year protecting that 1st place championship wise through the whole season and with bunch of fast part timers on gravel (Ogier, Kalle, Lappi) who benefited alot. Obviously Evans failed to do it even with bigger point advantage this season so far.
Funnily enough, Tänak would‘ve been lead Hyundai after this stage without the 5m penalty…
Keeping in mind about tarmac rounds, I would watch towards Rovanperä as the main title contender, but now everything is changed - Evans and Ogier both gained quite many extra points.
Tänak also with a puncture. The lottery mode is on now.
Puncture for Ott as well, luckily closer to finish of the stage
How many spare tires they carry? If Neuville or Fourmaux gets a new puncture, do they have a tire to leap to the service?
Does any wise man can confirm that this Ott's tyre can be inflated again on road and used on road section? That was not damaged, just off the rim.
