Prop shaft again i guess for Lappi
in the end there is only one person who turns the steering wheel and is able to avoid rocks or holes. some are just better at it than others.
Any footage of the Neuville incident? Wasn't able to watch.
Alternator & transmission problems for Lappi now. Hyundai's are as unreliable as M-Sports eventually.
Sounds like Kalle just going to take the points and not fight Ogier for the win.
I wonder if the punctured tyres are only softs or hards also..
Hards supposed to have thicker sidewalls..?
Lappi appears to be out. Only Sordo survives from the i20s.
ogier did what he was payed for to do here, take out toyota's opponents. he can now take the win while kalle can further secure the title.Quote:

ogier won 25 seconds yesterday and lost 10 today so far. I'm not sure ogier would be able to win here without his position advantage on friday.Quote:

what happen on SS10 with Mikkelsen, Fourmaux and Prokop? all of them don't appear in the standing
Wondering on the same, not shown at ewrc eighter.Quote:

There was red flag at some point and maybe they are making some notional times for them..
This is a why Ogier is smart doing a part-programme - he gets to enjoy his favourite events, gets a great road position and adds to his win record as opponents doing the full season dont need to race him.Quote:

if you can't beat 'em, join 'em they say, I hear... :DQuote:

So, Ogier changed the tire (based on all-live), Pirelli will get some greetings I guess
edit: was not changing the tire, left rear wheel does not seems correct
edit 2: from replay, they went to change but saw that suspension was failed and just continued with that
edit 3: Pirelli guys can breath out now
amazing sunday again tomorrow
so ogier breaks the suspension but still remains 4th. just amazing how lucky that man is.
btw: sordo is now up to 2th.
That was probably the thought process hahaQuote:

After stage end repairing, Ogier didn't fasten the broken sparewheel either..
Ogier need to reach to service park first. Based on maps he is still on the road. How much time he has left to arrive to TC?Quote:

Neuville was really unlucky
https://www.rally.tv/e/replay/443038...allyGreece2023
So, eWRC and rally.tv both show Ogier as 9th overall with +9:47.6 loss to the lead and 10:00:00 as stage time.
It's not the hole Neuville hits i think, it's a tree stump or rock sticking up to the right of it
Didn't see how Ogier broke the suspension, but I bet a Yaris wouldn't have been seriously damaged here...Quote:

Ogier OTL, retired for the day.
Would be funny if Ott ends up on the podium
Neuville is a asshole because broke the Hyundai steering.
Ogier is... silence... silence... silence...
Funny people here...
Have to say, this time round it was pure unluck from Neuville's side, that hole was getting rougher and deeper with every passing car. As for Ogier, need to look at that onboard again, Evans mentioned that stage was tough so he was taking it carefully.Quote:

Have to say, without any national feelings, Mikkelsen's driving this day is extremely good!
He take the risk, and did it perfect!
