Who is this Stritesky dude? Not a name I've seen before.
wow Kopecky lost 13 sec to Gryazin at ss 4,and now +27 sec.
edit
fKopecký Jan - Hloušek Jan
Škoda Fabia Rally2 evo 0:10 - Late (1 min) at TC
It's his first ever 4WD event :) He drove 208 R2 last year and won Adam cup in 2019 which was his first rally season. He is a young guy from karts driving in the team of famous engineer Vančík under Škoda dealership banner (he is among the officially supported drivers). Moreover Stříteský lost something on SS2 when he caught Tomek...
From various facebook streams and info from the stage it looks like Gryazin is pushing visibly more than Kopecký (the rally is officially held without spectators but at least some static camera streams are available).
Stříteský caught Tomek again, they went through finish in 0,5 seconds.
Mirek why Kopecky had a penalty? car problems?
I don't know atm. Due to lockdown restrictions I have to stay in my flat in Prague. Pity because the route this year is superspectacular :(
Great video from SS1 and SS2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrZP_HktfSs
Interestingly Stříteský said he had a slow puncture on SS2 on which he overtook Tomek :D
By the way Březík jr. uses Hankook tyres.

Kopecký... He forgot to tighten one wheel during the change on the road section. When warming tyres the wheel went loose (hence the penalty) but the screws were damaged and some nuts were lost. He used one nut from each other wheels and two spare ones to fix the wheel. As a result of lost concentration he hit a rock just after the start of the stage and damaged two rims. Fortunatley without puncture but with vibrations through all the stage.
Cais is ill. We'll see if he'll be able to start tomorrow.
Mareš had a slow puncture on SS4.
I would like to note that Březík, Stříteský and Jakeš drive old-spec Fabia, not the Evo.
Good job by Mares today. I suppose Kopecky will push for 2nd tomorrow and no more.
