Real shame for Meeke breaking his RARB... must make a missive difference to the handling and his confidence. I uprated the RARB on my Focus ST and the improvement was huge, so cant imagine a car with a broken one !

Nice to see that VW let them fight, did not expect that for sure and also did not expect that Latvala could take the win. Lets see if Latvala can keep this momentum.
I was one of the few spectators who thought that it was better watching Vieira do Minho once than Fafe twice. I realized that in the WRC is difficult watching something better than the jumps of Sordo and Meeke that I could see on the Rally Sprint. These are the pics of Vieira do Minho:

His comments at power stage stop are laughable(nothing new)
the nice surprise imho was Mikkelsen.Was very close/on par ,when Latvala Ogier pushed.
Not a good rally for Neuville.
A good one for Paddon.
About Fords didn t notice any improovement.
About Meeke,best of the rest.At same road position dont see any luck at all.
Fabias r5 made a well debut,and with very little troubles managed to finish a wrc round,not something easy from r5 cars at past.
Was waiting much more from Lappi and Tidemand,against Nasser and Kruuda who were clearly faster.

Good to have a live stage on Saturday too, but why oh why can they not show the end of WRC2 on their online coverage of a powerstage? It would hardly cost anything extra for them to produce - I understand TV restrictions for the main package, but just go back to it after the TV wrapup is done. Not to mention, this noon/11am finish time is utterly ridiculous.
Pity to see VW whitewash another event. Every time Ford or Citroen shout about how good a new component is going to be, it makes me wonder how much quicker the VWs will be, and there is no beating them without mistakes or failures on their behalf.
Great credit to Meeke again, and Ostberg showed really good pace too. For Meeke and Tanak, I have given them a lot of stick for their inconsistency and seeming ability to hit everything in sight before, so it's only fair I commend each on an apparently near-faultless drive this weekend.
Well, Meeke had a few moments AFAIR, but he is truly maturing and consolidates his results already. For sure a victory gives him lot of confidence for future development.
Tanak on the other hand was driving to finish. Nothing impressive, but well justified considering his previous results (mostly bad luck probably, but anyway it is important to score now).
