Question. How many spare tyres can driver take in the car? If soft is best for current conditions, but bad for endurance, why not take 4 spares. Yes, overweight is taxing, but in this conditions maybe good option?

The first split is showing Mikkelsen is already 30.0s slower than Ogier at the first split – 6.80km in. The Norwegian may have had a problem. More to follow...

SD can give some hint but says nothing solid since it's just a warming up for drivers and a way to try some minor changing in the setup.
Anyway you think different and that is ok. Just move on now.
Give the guy a break, he is pretty basic man. Its good that rallying keeps him busy.Quote:

No.Quote:

Abbring his off was due to a puncture!
Tyres don't pop off the rim by themselves. Maybe he hit something sharp that was pulled up but he was on fresh tyres so that's about the only thing that could have happened.Quote:

My theory is that he was surprised by the low grip, but we won't know until some video surface...
All rally, no just this morning.Quote:

Not always, but sometimes SD does show something.
Ogier slower than this morning

SS5: MIKKELSEN – He's into the stage with his two-wheel-drive Polo R. The organisers have given him a four-minute gap over Neuville to try and minimise the risk of the Norwegian being caught.

#tyre info: all Michelin @OfficialWRC drivers with 5 Michelin LTX Force S except Mikkelsen with 6S #WRGB #wrc
He's faster now.Quote:

Possibly the first real mistake by Breen in the DS3. Not bad though considering the little time he's had in the WRC car.
All are losing time to Ogier on the last section of SS5.
Sunninen takes 7 minutes from Ogier at second split and storms into a rally lead with an wrc2 car. What a drive :)
Lefebvre should have come in by now and has stopped moving on the GPS map :/
hmmm
...bad day for Citroen? Let's hope not
Edit; he moved. Technology playing tricks again (really, how hard can it be to get this stuff working?)
Hi-speed spin for Suninen and over 20 seconds lost.
