Yeah, too early.Citroen will get its act together, Toyota doesn't look so far behind and the Hyundai looks pretty fast.Ford will have to maintain development and iron out any reliability issues like the downshifting problem for Tanak.

Whats the weather forecast for tomorrows stages?
Most likely. But I guess a mechanical part can get too strained to the point where it gives up. Either by rash driving or bad construction. But in a rally like Monte rash driving isn't really common.
Since it's the rear suspension I would place my bet on he slid wide and touched something.
Thierry moving again?
Neuville moving... but +35 min is guarantee
Sat 15:52 - SS13: Neuville
Moving again. He seems to have made a temporary repair
Yep, WRC radio confirms.
at least he is moving
another one down... a few more left for Evans to win it
neuville finish the stage..he will try to obtain some points on power stage and some points for team
at least he can win some power stage points.
went wide in a slow corner and hit something
Will Neuville and all other WRC rally 2 re-starters still be scoring manufacturers points? Neuville is still 7th of the manufacturer entries.

yes, they will be able to score point
Thanks, that's good news.
The Belgian succeeds in nursing his damaged car to the finish. He's lost 32 minutes. The i20 is crabbing sideways, and the right-rear wheel is out of alignment, but otherwise the car looks okay. "It happened in quite a slow left-hand corner. On the exit, on the throttle, the rear went wide and I hit something. I don't know what. I have to go now..." says Thierry.
So gutted for the bad luck Thierry had today. Just been away from PC for one hour and this happens! Had Neuville 1 st on Pickems as well :(
Exciting day tomorrow. Letīs see if Evans can push like today. Canīt understand where the boy got the speed so suddenly?
any snow on turini for tomorrow?
Any photo's from Neuville's car?
Any information if Neuville made it to service? Will they be able to repair the damage? Is this last service a flexi-service? Will Neuville get extra penalty for arriving late?
I see it is not flex service, he will get penalties for being late.
What is the maximum time limit for arriving at a time control?
Can I ask a newbie question... Imagine a WRC1 driver (say Sordo for example) were to complete the rally without dropping out of any stage, but they get several punctures and are greatly delayed. Say they finish 10th overall behind some WRC2 cars, but 7th of the WRC1 entries because some other WRC1 cars dropped out (like Paddon). Do they get WRC points for 7th place or for 10th place?
amazing passes flat out
