What a time by Ogier and something has happened with Kalle
E: nothing has happened. Splits were wrong
That seems to have been a glitch. Kalle's splits are now OKQuote:

And Sordo is driving slow, is it to drop behind Neuville?
or just a tire-ware issueQuote:

Does that count? Aren’t the positions locked now after the last stage ?Quote:

It's also nice, that all Rally1 cars finished the day and top4 is just in 5.4sec.
That is correct, "Any penalties incurred after the end of this last special stage (excluding super special stages) will be ignored". (WRC Regulations art 41.2. comment 2)Quote:

Looking forward to see Tanak vs Neuville time comparison with not a huge difference in road position.
Many Rovanperä'st stage end comments also contained descriptions, that "he can not do more with this car" and that he is not happy with the car. Whining?Quote:

Good day by Neuville for being 1st on the road, but 13-18 seconds are still a lot to reel back with speed alone from drivers like Ogier, Rovanpera and Tanak. Sordo shouldn't be a problem (I guess he was just slow in the final stage, no team orders), Katsuta shouldn't either but he was unusually fast today. All of this barring Hyundai problems.
Evans seems a bit lost, even without the puncture. Maybe bad setup or some gremlins?
I do expect Kalle to pull away from Ogi tomorrow, while Katsuta will bin it and Ott's gonna be third, fourth ThierryQuote:

Tanak was complaining about car not being perfect even when he had 40s lead after first day in Toyota.Quote:

Mawnin´ guys.
Fourmaux's tyre choice seems like he is going for a good time on Amarante..
Great stage from Tänak so far but still seems quite unhappy
Kalle destroying everyone
Booom. Rovanperä did the warmup yesterday and today back to "normal".
This was expected. He will run away today and Ogier , Tänak and Taka deciding the other podium places
Will Neuville run over Taka? Lets see. I think something will hapen infront
WRC2 guys coming faster than Munster….i know he is cleaning and etc but IMO the guy has gone backwards this season compared to last years outings
It would not be a surprise. Taka has made a really good start to the rally and job so far, but if 3 champs around him + the most likely new champ level up their game and fine-tune the setup, then he probably needs to take too many risks to keep up the pace.Quote:

Neuville already passed Sordo and complained about his road position. Sordo should've let him past last night.
SS10 McErlean fastest WRC2 by 0.9sec
E: yes, not fastest.
Pajari came later and 1.2s faster.
Pajari is the fastest at the moment, some more guys to come. For McErlean it's for sure a good stage, beating Solberg, Greensmith, and Rossel.Quote:

Edit: from replay, nose to ditch and spin.
Probably some story to tell for Neuville as well, losing 4-5sec to Fourmaux from split1 to split 2.
edit 1: from replay, slid to the bank and stalled.
edit 2: seems some damage to the front and tire off the rim.
