Ogier cruising to win and going to lead the WDC.
I bet he will be thinkibg doing whole series then :D
Yes. He hasn´t learned a thing. It´s a shame needed to say that, but honestly he didn´t manage that speed.
What times the rally2 are given now?
Fastest... :)Quote:

Probably next stage will be delayed as well, as rally2-gang can not get to the start
I don't think his seat is in danger in Hyundai for that mistake (if it was not technical failure or whatever).Quote:

With him doing whole series he doesn't have such starting position advantage.Quote:

Between our friends we predicted Lappi's off, but I was still surprised it came so fast.
He is not on a level of big boys and sometimes when he is speedwise close to them his risk level is higher. Seen it too many times. And to be clear I/we don't wish that, it's our experience talking

At the moment does not seem so. Rally1 cars still waiting at the start of SS12 and Rally2+Rally3 cars are moving away via alternative route from SS11 start to SS12 direction.Quote:

he is definitely on the level of the big boys speed wise, it's just that he's not capable of managing that speed yet. it's concerning for a driver who's been in the championship for so long, even though his career hasn't been the easiest going or most consistent atmosphere-wise. reminds me a lot of Latvala for most of his career.Quote:

That's why he is not on the level of the big boys speeewise bcs to keep this speed he takes more risks.Quote:

Breen, Ogier, Lappi will be Friday's heroes every gravel rally but only one of these guys have the level to manage it during the whole rally. Craig showed promise in Sweden but time will tell. EP doesn't seem to be up for it, unfortunately. I'm happy if he proves me wrong though bcs this series needs it badly.

I'd like Lappi for a change to finish Mexico without setting the car on fire.

Ogier and Lappi had same road position yesterday and the speed was there, it's when he starts the day at the top that it immediately goes wrong with mistakes.Quote:

If they pass a win they´d be more consistent...Quote:

Lappi seems to do the same thing as when he came to Citroen in 2019 and when he returned to Toyota last year.
Goes way above his safe speed to try to take it all immediately.
Both at Citroen and Toyota he turned it down after a series of fails and "settled" for a level he could hold. To be seen what happens this year.
Fourmaux and Greensmith drive back to start of SS11... and from there to SS12? They for sure can not reach there for their start time.
He spoke about clean driving yet he was throwing the car all over the road all the time.Quote:

I’m amazed by the amount of Estonian flags on every stage.
Great job fans
Heard that they go straight to SS14Quote:

Looking at these last 2 events, it seems that Yaris isn't really so much better than other cars. Too bad Msport breaks all the time
possible roll cage damage?

Yeah I withdrew EP from our friends predictions as well after placing him inigially on the 3rd spot.Quote:

Looks like they are waiting for Gus and Fourmaux who are still 10-15min away from ss12, so we will probably miss seeing Rally2 on this stage also...
Tanak could be trying all kinds of things and treating these stages like a giant test day. TBH he was only likely to be fighting for PS points here anyway.Quote:
