Wohw, what a time by Paulo on stage 2, beating Lappi by 13.3 sec.:D
I'm quite sure Andreucci is on Pirelli. Maybe Nasser's switch back to Michelin was not that good idea :confused:
Paddon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kubica Out??
Another great time by Paddon!
Is Andreucci a specialist in these stages? Do they run them in the italian championship?Quote:

Also Kremer is on Pirelli and is surprisingly fast. Michelin have work to do!
Can Nasser switch tyres for another legs or are they all sealed?
Maurin is on Pirelli too. Together with Portugal it's very clear now that Pirellis are hugely faster in WRC2.Quote:

I wonder how quick Lappi would be on Pirelli?Quote:

What happened with Mikkelsen, 1min45 down on split?
Mikkelsen in trouble. Damaged suspension?
Mikkelsen with suspension damage

What is with Evans? He had problem in the previous stage and now they seem to persist.
Car is not pushing at all, electronic problem?Quote:

Mikkelsen's strut has come through the top mount, they are changing the top mount on rear right suspension. Difficult repair to do. #WRC

Rear-right driveshaft issue for @ElfynEvans. He and @danielbarritt will try to make it through the next two stages but will lose time #WRC
Lappi said he stalled engine in the last stage and now he had a spin.
Just saw him live with a rear left puncture. Or at least it seemed so.Quote:

Hayden Paddon: "I'm really happy. I must admit the new paddle-shift on my car makes a big difference on these stages. The first stage win was a surprise, now we're just trying to make the most of our road position advantage."
That must be some paddle-shift !! :D Sounds like tyres and road position were the real reason for his pace...
The Kiwi enjoyed cleaner roads offered by a low start position to win Grighine Sud by 5.3sec in his Hyundai i20, before outpacing the field by 11.0sec in Grighine Nord.
“It was an advantage,” admitted Paddon. “We were surprised by our speed in SS2 so we calmed down in the next one and didn’t take big risks, just following the line. We hit a massive rock in SS2 that pitched us in the air and again in this one, so we were a bit lucky,” he said. Overnight rain left the gravel roads damper and cooler than expected and those who gambled on including soft tyres in their selection this morning benefited. One of those was Paddon, who had two softs on the rear of his car.
Looks like Mikkelesen now out with fuel pressure problem...
