so after 110 stage km Paddon almost have the same difference with Ogier after yesterday evening.(8,8 sec yesterday vs 9,2 today)
Lets see what he can manage today evening.
Yesterday at evening stages he could hold the difference,except last stage (lost 11,2 sec)he had a problem with rear handling of his i20.
Also lets see if Ucci can react against the bullet proof rrc at rough repeated stages.
(he had and some intercom problems)
It was a slow puncture that caused Hayden's time loss last night.

Ott Tänak sounds like he's seeing some progress now:
"The feeling has been better than yesterday. The stages have more of a flow which suits us a bit better and I think we've been able to continue at a good, solid speed.
"We had a few little set-backs with a slow puncture at the end of SS12 which meant we had to use the softs for SS13 and a spin at the start of SS14, but I'm really starting to enjoy myself out there."
"We can't think too much about the position at the moment though. We just have to think about our own driving and remain positive."
So on Day 3, Sunday.. what will the starting order look like?
Ogier second last in the WRC class to start stage and Paddon very last in WRC class?
Nice police cars they have over there... :eek:

Al Arabi - 3rd in overall on SS16
Hayden Paddon (Hyundai / rally leader): "Sebastian is still in front, but it's a matter of time. I would like to win, but we must keep our feet on the ground. It will surely pass us this afternoon, but I do not panic because a podium would be a great result for us. That's why our biggest challenge this afternoon will be to take care of the car in these special looming very difficult. "

Sébastien Ogier (Volkswagen): "Another good morning. We no longer had to open the road because the drivers who left yesterday are gone before us this morning. With four cars, that was good. It has become more complicated with the drop of Sordo and Mikkelsen: with only two cars in front of us there was still a lot of '' gravette 'under our wheels and we lacked traction. I made some mistakes but overall the results are good. We will try to lead this afternoon and beat Hayden. It will not be easy, because it is a great race, without fail until then. "
