It's connecting the fast stages to good results (first rally then championship) that should be the goal.

Puncture already in second stage of the season doesn't look promising. I would applaud him being 1-2 secs slower than fastest Rally2 cars and staying on podium more than this.

My sarcasm was, if you didn´t get it, over another sarcasm hinting about WRC3... or was that a serious quote?

I’m really impressed by Loubet so far. Apart from ss2 he is not far away from Tänak at all

LOUBET LIFTED BECAUSE OF PUNCTURE
Loubet had started SS4 well, but he backed out midway through, believing he had picked up a puncture.

Oliver is in Monte for one reson only, getting to know the new car. He will probably test different settings, to find the limit.

But it is always good with a stagewin under your belt!

FOURMAUX OFF BRIEFLY AT THE FINISH
Fourmaux says he "cannot do more" and he certainly showed that at the end of the stage, dropping off into a field!

What a lucky man kalle

Not only lucky. He managed his fault very good.
