Not sure what I think it would gain but still bizarre that a team mate just drives past rather than stopping for 30 seconds to attach a rope and drag it out.

Ogier and smart mistakes
Ott just bring it home now steadily.
Big points against Neuville to be gained here now
Ogier extremely lucky he didnt lose the whole wheel there
How tf is Ogier's wheel still pointing right direction
That's a good point, if Sordo had dragged him out he would probably have a better road position for tomorrow. Wouldn't be great for the teams championship though
Championship should've been pretty equal if Tanak scores 30 and Evans atleast 15.. With Neuville tomorrow going first
I don't think they carry towing ropes and besides, that would be outside assistance which is forbidden.
They're "team mates". If the manufacturers was different to eg, total time of all three cars, it wouldn't be as weird as "we're team mates but fuck you because our team only needs one of us". Team mates should be able to assist each other.Quote:

But anyway, not a hill for me...
lol what are you guys on with this towing talk
assistance is not allowed
Anyways, its gone and Tanak is now biggest favorite for the championship
Shhh, let's not jinx it, still a long way to go in this rally.Quote:

Neuville's off is good luck for Evans but he really doesn't deserve it with his own very poor pace here.
Anyone who understands what did Neuville say when he realized the speed was too much?

definitely not. the form Neuville is in at the moment, he is still the favourite.Quote:

3 fast gravel rallies to come, I'd be very surprised if Neuville is the championship leader after themQuote:

Rally is not over yet, but we can still discuss the provisional standings, taking it into account, that in the very next moment it all can be different again.
Many people talk about Evans can now reduce the cap with Neuville. Yes, it's true, but it sounds weird in the context if Tänak reduces it more and also passes Evans with 3 points.
As it stands at the moment, Ogier is just 9 points behind Evans, 25 points behind Neuville. Maybe it's wrong to ignore Ogier when talking about the title fight.
Tomorrow there is a 7 + 5 points to grab. Let's say Ogier and Tänak's fight stays alive and they are faster than Neuville due to better road position, then even though he is just 3rd in the Sunday points and 3rd in PS, it's still 7 points.
Something tells me a puncture will happen either with ott or seb. Probably ott.

This is not true.Quote:

Interesting classification in RC2 after SS 8. First two Toyotas, then two Citroens and only then first Skoda - Martin Prokop...
I stand corrected. Yet, I still think that if another car stopped on the stage to render towing assistance to another, I think that would amount of creating a blockage or even a hazard on the stage and stewards might take a dim view about it.Quote:

Far from decider, although it makes things much more difficult for Neuville.Quote:

Good pace from Fourmaux, faster than Tänak and Ogier.
edit: Ogier is faster in 2nd split
Great time by Fourmaux taking advantage of a later road position on this stage.
Tänak: we are asked to be safe and not pushing.
Tanak been told to be safe for the Manu points.
Damn Ogier always takes chunks out of Tänak with the final 3-4 splits
Wtf why. It’s too soon to ask such a thingsQuote:
