Well, what a difference one rally makes, one minute rock bottom, the next, on the top step of the podium, hopefully they can build on that momentum.

Ypres was his 12th different rally win, passed Neuville, McRae, Hirvonen and Kankkunen with this and tied with Latvala and Grönholm. Next one is Sainz with 13 different rally wins and then Ogier with 20 and Loeb 23.
Can he make it a hat trick like he did back in Finland-Germany-Turkey 2018?Quote:

He did win in Turkey back in 2018, and you can’t say that’s not a car breaker, question is, will the car hold together?Quote:

It seems those stages are so sandy that they don't clean that much with just a few cars. Although, last year we only had like six competitive entries, it's interesting to see if the condition starts to change for Loeb or Sordo...
Don't forget that Tänak starts 2nd so not much of cleaning and Ott will suffer as well.

Tänak delivers, but we should be realists like Tänak himself is.
Win in Finland - this was out of this world effort put into this win. Road position advantage over Rovanperä was helpful as well.
Win in Belgium - again proper effort, but at the same time, he took what was given - Rovanperä, Breen, Neuville out, Evans with penalty.
He said in one interview (I think for some Estonian media) - "we can see from PowerStages (from Finland and Belgium), that we lack from raw speed compared to Toyotas, but we have managed to win".
Yeah but my point was that there might be not that much cleaning anyway, the first six cars could have equally slippery conditionsQuote:
