Tänak heard you and was quicker in the fourth split but Evans seem to have woken up, 9.2 faster than anyone else in the 7th split.Quote:

Alright. Well, people can have different opinions. For me, it seemed that the first and second stage had a bit different characteristics. First one was also a bit more tough with the conditions. I just think that Neuville was a bit more careful than Ott, but on the second one had gained more confidence and could also push a bit more since it was easier than the first one.Quote:

Of course, it can be that he got the call, but it just seems stupid...Thierry has a quite a big margin with the points and even if he drops a couple to Ott, I do not think he will be quite annoyed..but lets see on the third one.
I appreciate your polite argumentation skills (no sarcasm)Quote:

Usually when he is off the speed compared to the other, then he talks about the feeling in the car or setups etc. When he has a small grin and tells you everything is OK, then there is something behind it. Usually it seems to have been a technical error, which they don't want to expose to their competitors.
That is Ogier behavior. Just plain stupid to come out with bs like this twice in a weekend.Quote:

And people here acting like this hasn’t happened before. Remember Greece 2022 when Tänak got the message from Korean boss himself and back then Thierry wasn’t even driving for the title.
What the hell? Why would they do team orders in second stage of the day??? Still lot of kms to go, lot of things can happen.. If Thierry goes off, Tanak cant be behind Toyota.. Doesn't make sense...
In Greece their was no sense to fight each other, and the three Hyundais had a decent enough lead. Here it would be stupid as the Toyotas are right there with them.Quote:

I'm a bit confused, Rossel went off in SS9 and broke the suspension but fixed it again and got through SS10?
I think he just went off, but broke nothingQuote:

Uuf, it's slippery. Katsuta went straight on braking, into field and skidded his way around back to road... :)
Taka out in the grass, losing around 16 secs.
Is it just me or is Tanak's going a little wobbly at the moment, like he's correcting all the time, even when going straight?
Difficult rally for the Beyond Rally women for the moment:
- Schönborn was forced to retire for the day yesterday (even if it sounds technical stuff from what I understand)
- Sounds Baudet is forced to retire in SS10, at least for the day
- Jyrkainen is quite off the pace and is even slower than Mireille Vidueira, also in Fiesta Rally3 (Swiss women who was French women champion last year but very far of high level)
A bit the worst scenario for organizers
And there it is, Neuville spun and that's gotta cost the lead.
And now he's gone off again!
And again!!!!
Neuville now have to handle his head and focus...
Classic Neuville
Was pushing when there was no need
For a moment it seemed he'd stay there, with no grip to get out - but no, he got out... Waiting for the third off now...
Huge choke by Neuville, omg
"Good news for us" (Ogier)
So, now let´s hear from the critics... ;)
Sounds like Ogier had a big moment as well
He got those offs and offpaced times the whole season, but he climb up everytime again and again, so I don't see a reason he couldn't do it again.
Really like doing his Croatia off, Neuville, doesn’t he?
Looks like we will all buy RallyTV subscription for the last round
Hmm one picture here and ewrc claim otherwise but who knows.Quote:
