Rovanperä off, crash into the trees, car on side.
Solberg probably got attention ruined and crash right after Rovanperä's place.
Spot on comment from Mike Chen: in 100m leaders from Rally1 and Rally2 are out.
Damn, there goes my pickems, Ogier on for win no.6 in Portugal?
And himselfQuote:

WRC and WRC2 leaders rolling in successive corners, wow.
Golden boy crashed, guess he was over the limit this morningQuote:

3 points are quite important for Tanak. If Neuville goes to third, he will be just 2 points behind which is not enough for TanakQuote:

True but to risk to fight with Ogier and loose it all?Quote:

It depends on the price and how much risks must be taken.Quote:

And with Fourmaux 6th he can close the gap and even take his 3rd position.Quote:

Main problem for Neuville is no spares.Quote:

Rovanpera crash reminds me of the one he had in Finland last year.
It would be better to be at home and do only drifting if you are not fully concentrated and interested to rallying.
Mistakes happen in rallying, no point in jumping to conclusions.Quote:

Wonder how big a push Neuville, Tanak and Ogier go for on this long stage
Yes it is. Three events this year and already two accidents. No way that everything is ok with Kalle. He was too tired of rallying at the enf of the last year and still was forced to continue part time. Stupid by Toyota and his manager to allow this happen. WRC should be the professional sport.Quote:

I agree, that the approach is different. With a part-time drive for the rally, you take all-or-nothing for the win. Guys like Rovanperä and Ogier do not come for a rally to collect points or take part - the only thing they care about is the win.
From that perspective, yes, it may be a questionable decision to put them both to one rally.. but, what do they lose doing so?
From all-live: Katsuta stopped.
... but on the maps seems to move.
edit: they seems to be out of the car and moving around was problem with maps.
Taka stopped. Carnage has finally arrived in the last two stages
Tanak having a McRae-esque push on this stage. Absolutely dialled-in and blitzing everyone
Picnic for (ex-)leaders.Quote:

We have a new leader
