It's a quite twisty section after the finish, maybe they didn't have it in the notes? Or just pushed too fast over the finish?

everybody talking about tomorrows stages, i dont remember Antti you mentioning the SS1 so much in your blog

Yes, it is a tight and narrow corner. However, watching the other drivers' in-car footage there appears plenty of distance to reduce speed after the flying finish, so either Kalle was carrying much more speed at FF or he just didn't switch off enough when he passed the boards.

Loubet's time?

EDIT: now it came. Fastest of the rookies.

Greensmith is now fastest :D

I think his fourth run was around the same time as Tänak's second, so conditions were similar.

Very tricky corner actually, when you arrive it's very steep downhill (steeper than you'd expect judging onboard videos), the corner is blind and tighter than you would expect. Very important to have it good in the notes, apparently even if it's after the finish... :D I was there in 2017 when it was included in the shakedown stage. Prokop and some others went off there, it was quite a mission to get Prokop's car out, as he was parked on top of a huge boulder :D In 2015 when it was included in the stage of Monte Baranta, Yazeed Al-Rahji went off on the same spot.

Evans champion on sunday? https://dirtfish.com/rally/wrc/fears...-this-weekend/
