Yeah, in such conditions even winning a stage doesn't give you much, just 2 seconds sometimes. It will be very difficult for Ostberg or Armstrong to gain some positions here.

Hello from the Royal Forrest stage,
Really enjoying this rally so far, great battle at the front, one mistake could cost a win or podium. I know not everybody likes it but great to see the locals compete with and beat the ERC regulars, especially a young local like Riersen. Impressed by Johannsson's pace today too, beating Ostberg and Marczyk on all stages so far.
Driver interviews are far more interesting and entertaining than WRC as well, they seem more open and maybe relxaed than the WRC. (Not meant as a criticism of the WRC drivers)
Interesting spots to watch the rally :)

Oh, dear. Just when we all wanted to hear Brynhildsen interview, they cut for next stage...!!! Are they robots, or what???
Having Henning Solberg has also been great on this rally. Someone entertaining to watch and interview running early on each stage.
Did Allen crash again?
