Really really frightening
New Loeb/Ogier ??Quote:

I thought to myself before the rally, I don’t see anyone challenging him this year, the only ones who can are not doing a full season, with that said I’ve still put Neuville for the win here.Quote:

I have been thinking the same about Tänak today.. stage end interviews are calm and happy((ier) than before). Hopefully gets a good result from Croatia!Quote:

Doing really good job today in these conditions(both first clean and second muddy loop)
Tanak lost 20 secs...???
Puncture for Tänak?!
Neuville passed him, 15s ahead
What a shame for Ott, did fantastic so far
Fortunately not a huge loss
Disappointing time again by Breen. I thought he would thrive in these conditions but he's getting worse as it goes on.
So who else is missing Loeb and/or Ogier now? Maybe then we had battle... ;)
Well apart from Ypres, did he ever show something on tarmac in a WRCar or Rally1?Quote:

Isn’t that black and white. Depends where they would startQuote:

156 km/h in a 80 km/h zone - massive speeding for Neuville today.
1900€ fine and report to the stewards for possible further action - see COC Notification No. 1

And pitty that Ott had a puncture, now the fight for second died a little but still a chanceQuote:

Great day at M-sport continues: crash for huttunen too!
Kalle is so mature. Avoiding cuts where there are massive potential for puncture. It´s a bit of Ogier in him right now.
A good day it was, said Jonne after passing finish line.
Did Becsy quote me in All Live just now?? :) :)
Janne who?Quote:

Damn
Taka now with the front left puncture as well!!! Must be a nasty cut
:DQuote:

too many punctures today.. hopefully Pirelli will make them stronger..
Would love to hear Ostberg's comments about today's punctures :D :D
Oliver now in RX mode... :)
He hasn't done that many TBF.Quote:

Nice day from Tänak from his position. Glad to see him enjoying again over years and what a contrast to last years Croatia
Said lost the hybrid again in this stage
Tänak had problems with HY sht box once again :D
overall rather happy, but unfortunate with that puncture though..
I think the last time Breen competed in a wrc car in wet conditions was back in Catalunya 2018 where he finished 9th with the C3.Quote:
