Gutted. We hit a massive rock in fifth gear which broke the suspension. Spectators said it wasn’t there this morning and must have rolled down from the bank. Same place as @JariMattiWRC

Very unfortunate if the rock has just fallen down onto the outside of the road.

Shit happens and the world doesn't stop.

All true but it keeps happening to the same guys again and again

And you can see one more stone "is waiting". If someone goes a bit wide there it may help to roll it down.

JML said the rock was there in the recce, but it wasn’t there last year - he admitted he’d changed his pace note from last year, and it was too fast

Why do You think so?

Why isn't it C3 R5? Ostberg was fastest everytime he drove it against Rovanperä...

I don't think that anyone from Boleslav is frustrated from winning every event where they started with the new car (Mladá is adjective which means young while Boleslav is a name of a man - strangely while Boleslav is a man's name, Mladá Boleslav is feminine form - but enough of our language lessons :) ).

I thought he said there was a concrete block last year which wasn't there at recce so he made his note faster, but was too fast and ran a bit wide and hit the rock which he hadn't seen?

Will this be the second rally in a row where Neuville is the slowest Hyundai? Must have been a while since that happened.

Was expecting Latvala to loose some time with both front and rear aero missing.

Well.. the conclusion is obvious: The best aero is the one you don't have.

No he said there was a concrete bollard on the inside of the previous RH corner last year that was not there this year

Seems the others get more out of the upgrades than him in this rally.
