look at the difference of the mud on the cars. Tänaks car was completely muddy on side but Ogiers not so much
If Pontus wins here and in Spain or Oz he would have same number of wins as Kopecky but more second places (presuming Kopecky doesn’t win or finish second on either!)Quote:

Evans also, but in the end they have to be in the right place...
Remember that 6/7 results will be counted. Pontus has one 2nd place and DNF, so his maximum is 5x25 +18 = 143points.Quote:

Nice to see both Evans and Suninen doing well this morning, enjoying Nicky Grist's thoughts too.
Mikkelsen, Paddon and Lappi need to step it up.
Hyundais really struggling on SS3
Rovanpera on a different planet on SS3.
Timing on Rovanpera is just unbelievable...!!!
and how beautiful his driving was...no sideways at all, very calm, nice and tidy!
Rovanperä always looks slow on TV and on the stages...but he is fast, very fastQuote:

Tänak is once again untouchable, but that's nothing new. Hats off to Evans, after poor 2018 he's finally showing that last year maybe wasn't fluke after all.
Kalle's performace is that fantastic that I had to finally end my "just reading mode for this form" and start writing.
What a start for Rovanperä, again! Over 30 sec difference to second WRC2 car (Greensmith) on one stage.
Now Rally History from 2001 on WRC+ AllLive. Just have a look!!
The interviews are just pure gold at timesQuote:

Totally agree re Rovanpera, I was watching his driving for a few times in latvia - the same feeling, and with every rally he was getting better and better
Marshalls reaction to Kalles time

Ogier overshoots a junction - the exact same one Neuville overshot! Definitely a very slippery corner.
He has made more errors in this stage than in all 2016 together.
EDIT: it's actually a mechanical problem
Ogier not having a 1 and 2nd gear
Is not going to be nice for him on the next two stages?
Our grandmas don't see any problem on that :DQuote:

The rain makes the stages more slippery after each car.
Citroens seem out of pace, or then it's the road conditions getting worse after this many cars
Breen is doing wellQuote:

I wondered about that too from the sound it made.Quote:

Probably Skoda has asked Rovanperä to slow down - only 3,3 secs faster than Tidemand on SS4.
