Very angry / disappointed reaction, look how much it meant to him. Championship not over for him though. Now big chance for Kalle, Evans too.

Well, perhaps there is something to be said for "careful".Quote:

First, Ott has to stay calm and not to try anything crazy with this undriveable car.Quote:

Interesting decision now for Evans. Take some pace out and safely finish in 3rd in front of Taka or keep pushing to get 2nd and capitalise to the max from Ogier‘s mistake?
Wtf? First real mistake this year, this will be his first result outside of podium and you have already buried it.Quote:

He acts like that but he has never not been emotional, and I'm not talking about good, passionate emotions.Quote:

Drivers' championship as it stands currently:
Evans 239
Rovanpera 228
Ogier 224
Tanak 196
Neuville 172
Wtf? What have I buried?Quote:

What I am saying that if you actually put him under pressure and he has to try then he also makes mistakes like all of the people do.
I have buried nothing, he is still the favorite to take the championship in the end.
If car is repairable then tomorrow the maximum points for others are 4+4 :D
We will see rocket Seb
Kalle will have a puncture or minor mechanical issue and Elfyn will win or so my pickems say...
No, my pickems say it will stand as it is :DQuote:

He is just better. I think Neuville is taking it easy. Fourmaux talking about cleaning.Quote:

Ogier: "We picked up a puncture on the front-left and the TPMS wasn't working, so nothing i could have done"Quote:

I remember saying last year that it felt like watching the end of an era. I wondered if it would happen again this year. Apparently it's a puncture at the wrong moment, but he was pushing hard and there was always a risk.Quote:

I see Ogier has a posted time on ewrc, kan he SuperRally the next stage after retirering?
I see on ewrc Ogier has a posted time on stage 11, kan he SuperRally the next stage after retirering?
No, something is broken there.Quote:

In my opinion, he was still too fast entering the corner.Quote:

That's 2nd o/a for Tanak.
Tanak: "strange noise in the transmission". ...and overtakes Evans.
More Hyundai technical issues incoming?
Tänak lost 1.2s to Evans on the last split and even 0.3 to Neuville…
