They were more the exceptions in his career than his performance here.

After 20 kms of super high speed drive through unknown road with trees and rocks on the sides the reporter asks: "You are 4 seconds slower than xxxx. Whats wrong, where did you loose time ?" - ------------ like every rally driver is similar and has to do same times. ----------- One is payed million dollars, and another pays million dollars just to drive in a world class team. I did not loose any time, my time is very good, but his time is just better.
Today it was pretty wierd that nobody knew on stages whats gonna happen after erc cars.
Many suzukis(numbers from 130) and other cars right after erc crews. Still I do not have information of these Suzuki and toyota cars rally...
Then chequered flag car and a couple of other cars. Then we got info that historic cars have not driven ss1 (we were on ss3) and will not drive ss3 and we decided to leave. After 15minutes we heard historic cars passing by when we were still walking away.
Why is there so poor information on this rally?
Edit
Now I found more:

Drivers, including Sordo, reporting of dirt on the road, and he's winning the stage against Tänak in a Toyota going for the world title.
We can see the same parallel with his technical gravel performance, he used to be leading rallies after Friday but not anymore.

I believe Sordo said multilple times he is struggling with the hybrid boost, making him spin his wheels often.
That can line up with him historically being a bit worse in low grip conditions, cause that's when you need to be carefully with throttle.
Hybrid boost just exaggerates this.
nice video

Morning guys, is Ogier going to take another victory or will Kalle take this one?
His boss is temporary boss and he was saying that he is very good at doing engines and he should be continuing doing amazing stuff there but the leader should be someone with previous leadership experience. Not too difficult to understand when you are not trying to make up things. Some guys just can't read and think at the same time...

Moncet: ,,“As I say, definitely, it will not help the performance of the car,” he added. “It’s not a drama; we have seen some other drivers in the past even win stages without hybrid support.
He has lost time but you see he’s still within 20s of first place''
Doesn't sound like a professional team boss..?
Comparing stage wins without hybrid power.. MAYBE there is a difference between surfaces and real help of hybrid.
Now quite many times Moncet is downplaying some of the things happening with technical issues. And comparing punctures with hybrid problems you must find him to be very good apologiist.
I don't know how much and if it had any affect and why it's always happening to one driver but some of the stuff this guy says is just complete bonkers.
Just finding it ridiculous how it is suddenly claimed that Tanak is totally not involved in "Team politics" and is a poor little guy sitting in corner.
Go past one line and remember whole year. Tanak being in media about the car all the time, allegedly meeting Hyundai Koreans bosses without Moncet a few times, then saying someone else should lead the team. Totally not "Team politics".
Some guys can't think more back than one post...
Hey, guys, stage started already quite some time ago - you can stop fighting now and watch rally :)
Quite surprisingly level, before top3, at 1st split 5 drivers in 0.1sec.
Breen did drive Savallá in 18, how does he not know...
Amazing middle part from Thierry where it’s more dirty
11 drivers between 6.6 seconds after 14km!
What about Croatia? I was speaking about recent times, not some times ago or smth else - you really are master of demagogue.
All I'm saying is it's weird that it's most of the time happening to one driver and this could be an excuse from this driver (I don't exclude that possibility).
Comparing punctures and hybrid problems is complete bonkers. Shows me this guy is out of ideas and normal answers.
Wales 2003? :D
Nice coverage of the RC2 field.
Strong stagetime for Elfynn on this one
Again amazing second split from Thierry where it’s more dirty
Ogier now the fastest on splits
Really amazing splis by Ogier
It will be very difficult to take victory away from Ogier
What happend with Huttunen?
Also problem for Sarazin?
Lindholm now on P4, hard to climb more with pure speed without going completely grazy or others having problems. Good step on title direction.

Ah no Gus off.
Thanks Gus. Ruined the television stage once again
one of the nicest stages of the rally...stopped...thanks Gus :D
Fucking hope Msport can just put Gus in a 4th car next year. He pays for everything anyway
Hope they clear it and let the rest run the stage.
Brakes gone soft it sounded like
