I think Harri has always stayed in the background and only made things possible for Kalle, not giving advice or making decisions unless being askedQuote:

What is going on? Spectator in need of medical help?
Anybody else would have been swiftly dismissed; he's not ready for R1 cars just yet. The talent is there, but needs developing, in his own time - and he needs to be a little more humble.Quote:

That’s disappointing, the longest stage of the rally cancelled.
Seems like they couldnt control the spectators.
You could see from onboards that there was also spectators standing very close to the road in previous stage as well.
A lot of spectators nowadays think of themselves as next Fellini.... and because of them, suffers everyone.
Raw emotions, hard to watch and listen to.Quote:

I noticed the same, for example Lappi's crash corner in Laukaa was crowded with people close to road. And because of Kalle's success and two years gone with no summer rally, it has been VERY popular.Quote:

Not justifying these dumbass ,,fans'', but sending people off from correct places/behind the lines doesn't help either..Quote:

Solberg is very emotional anyway. He was in tears at winning a Rallycross event a few weeks ago.
And he’ll still be in this car in a fortnight in Ypres…someone up there in Hyundai need to seriously wake up, unless they don’t mind spending extra cash on fixing all his wrecked cars.
And even more disappointing for Tänak and Lappi since they could potentially benefit much from Rovenperä cleaning the longest stage. The stars are once again much aligned for Kalle this year. He is clearly the best and the fastest but with Rally a big chunck of luck is involved tooQuote:

Only with a serious quality Hyundai they can start again with the 3rd car instead of chewing up young talents and spare partsQuote:

Seems the luck went from Loeb to Ogier to Rovanperä.Quote:

Maybe it was a good idea to cancel Lankamaa 2.
Is that a steward?Quote:
