Mikkelsen has his own song always to play - if someone is faster than him, then "he must taking a lot of risks but we are doing it smart".Quote:

The big question is the relability, hope that they also find something there too.

Mikkelsen more often tries to push on afternoon loop, but letting Solberg get away too far now, can be costly.
I missed the start of the stage, did they clarify the situation with Lappi?
You do realize it's just like that in motorsport? Things outside of your control happen, deal with it. I don't really understand why it is always a world ending drama when Tänak has any sort of issue.Quote:

He is currently around 1.4 sec quicker per kilometre than Solberg. At that pace, a points scoring position will be certain. Good going.
i would say it's more the speed of someone who has nothing to lose and can take every risk. i wouldn't be supprised if he had a big crash.Quote:

Epic time from Linnamäe, 2.6sec faster than Solberg.
Mikkelsen need to pick some tempo up, otherwise his podium-position will be eaten soon.

Whats the forums opinion on Suninen so far?
He has "friday hero" starting position, but it is nice to see that he is really happy, enjoying the opportunity to drive the car. Really day-and-night mood at the stage ends compared to "usual Suninen" from the past. Real pace reality comes tomorrow, when Rovanperä start from more similar road position.Quote:

For me, he's done pretty well, no dramas, did what he's supposed to do, hopefully he can keep this up and get even better.Quote:

Tänak confirmed it from media-zone interview - he has nothing to loose, he does not care too much to finish and he has been over the limits and lucky to be there.Quote:

Impressive considering the little time he's had in a Rally1 car compared to Katstua & Loubet.Quote:

Really hope Neuville can continue his pace and at least keep Kalle honest, for the championship sake. Surprised by his pace
Neuville is doing better than (I personally) expected, but don't get fooled by Rovaperä's "slow" times - he is sweeping the road, Neuville is 4th on the road.Quote:

Kalle lucky again with rain?

Heavy rain in a about hour. Should drench SS6
Loubet is all over the place, hard to believe he reach to finish like this.
With no time at all...also Taka on same level.Quote:

Solberg doesn't even need to drive on the limit to be one of the pace setters. Definitely needs to learn how to dial it back a few % and find a safer pace
Solberg wasn´t even hitting anything more than anyone else.
Now we should talk about Skoda reliability?
Same story as Sardegna. I know its his driving style, but he seems far too aggressive with the car.Quote:

Lindholm broken powersteering. The ruts seem to be really rough…
Think rally1 escapes rain in this stage but later runners are in trouble
He ran wide and hit a tree?Quote:

The Ford is awful in ruts
Please don’t retire Ott, if only for your reactions and stage end commentary.
Ok. Was another spot than showed on WRC+ then...Quote:
