I would say all drivers having pressure on their shoulders coming to this rally, have failed on the very first leg. Suninen, Fourmaux, Kalle, Mikkelsen...

Yeah agree with that, although I don't think Fourmaux has any pressure.Quote:

Agree partly on Fourmaux, but who´s the driver NOT putting pressure on himself in his situation as well?Quote:

Well on that stage: Rovanpera retired, Mikkelsen rolled, Gryazin stopped like 3 times and lost 14 min, Lindmae retired..and Fourmaux retired in first pass. Some drama stage.
I'd also agree that "everyone" with pressure failed in some way.

Ok. Anyone knows what happened to Linnamäe?Quote:

So it's likely that first cars on the road tomorrow are Suninen, Rovanperä, Loubet and Greensmith. Not much cleaning to do for the championship contenders.
Mikkelsen out - rollcage.
Wow, seemed like a very gentle roll...Quote:

I would imagine light rain makes it more equal for everyone, but likely still loose gravel to be swept for the first cars. Then if it's a heavy rain turning the road to mud, it will polish and become more slippery for later runners.
Was it a film of the Mikkelsen roll?

4 minute gaps now
very slow stage just 71,8 km/h average for Ogier
That rain wont even help against dust. Sunday looks like proper rain.
very weird this year
it doesnt seem to clean as lot at as previous years, is it the pirelli tires or something or OGIER going full bananas?
that Ogier doing an amazing job there is no question,but have in mind that gravel as tarmac,is not the same every year.Quote:

That's a lot of softs for the warmest afternoon so far this year. How come when after Portugal someone mentioned that they were worried how the tires last on warm rallies?
lol nobody seems to like this stage
Now Gryazin stopped again on SS5...
Looked like engine fail.
Huttunen is faster than Tanak between split 1 and 2.
Suspension failure for Rovenperä (from interview from All-live)
shame about Kalle, mechanical then
must be a glitchQuote:

Nope. Gryazin also faster by 0.1s, Østberg 0.2 s slower.Quote:
