Besttime for Tanak now, Latvalla slower on split
I would be surprised if Ogier or Neuville would be in the lead in the end of the day. Too much road cleaning is my guess...
Tanak is flying.
Sordo 6,3 slower at split, not so good for him:(
All 3 M-sport cars are at first three places at split times;)
And then you get people saying that Ford has a bad car.....Quote:

Let's see how tyre choice will make a difference later on, especially on the long third stage.
No real line forming for the guys behind according to Tanak and now Evans...

Third time for Meeke
Ogier pissed at finish of second stage, why was that?
Neuville 2,5 faster on Ogier on second one
Tanak fastest again
Lefebvre might as well hand the keys to Breen between stages.
Second best time on stage one for Ostberg:eek:
Great time from Østberg
Östberg doing well! Ogier want time to change tyres before Terra Alta.
He is just pissed because it didn't go so well on 2nd stage:DQuote:

Of course not. The tarmac on this stage has nothing to do with the drivers changing tyres before it. Even if they had a full tarmac stage with a remote service for tyre change in between, I doubt they'd go for tarmac tyres because it's really difficult to drive with tarmac tyres gravel suspension, the combination of high grip and soft suspension is not good.Quote:
