Somebody know the reason of the time-loss for Emil Lindholm on previous stage?
Seems that at the end of SS7 it is raining again, Lindholm struggled, so JML will get a second shower and will be pissed off like in the old good days.

I don't speak Finnish but as much I understood, maybe JML had puncture additionally for rain. Maybe some Finns can confirm that.
Local guys probably not liking the current situation, where two Estonians are leading rally2.Quote:

I was thinking the same. Seems to be optimistic to count only on one lock.Quote:

Overheating I guess
Yes, you could see it at the stage end, carbon support snipped.Quote:

Fourmaux is doing very well, same time as Kalle
Speed wise, Fourmaux adapted very well to the Hyundai. He needs consistency now
This stage (Myhinpää) has no corners, said Kalle at finish.
I remember 2015, I brought an old friend of mine to Finland. He also was a rallyguy and we have had a lot of fun during the years since my drivers license age. That is early 70´s.
On Wednesday before rally we did recce on Myhinpää, which should be driven opposite way than this year. Driving out on the stage in cruising mode, his eyes was kind of standing out. He couldn´t believe this was a stage! The road was (is) so wide, maybe like 9-11 meters in some places. It´s like national tarmac ordinary traffic roads in Sweden. But I told him, "yes, this IS the stage".
So in a way one should understand Kalle, when he says there´s no corners.
We had a great rally as spectators, and he was very impressed. We also had access to Ford team, and met many drivers personally that time.
My friend died this winter in cancer, in age of 75.
Sorry to hear that, may he rest in peaceQuote:

* 2. Virves +0.5

Tanak started stage 9, second run trough Ruuhimaki
A lot of standing water in the ruts
