Ok the rally ended for Mikkelsen, but he had some speed for a while.
I wonder why he only performs when he's under pressure.
When he has no seat and is looking for contracts)(or being sidelined next rally) he's always showing great speed and as soon as things have calmed down he is slow again.
Maybe he should only have a one rally contract at a time and he'll be champ...
im just lost for words for Ogier today. He is just crushing everyone with stage by stage. already 2 secs up on Neuville and Tänak on this stage in first split!
Ogier's driving is sublime.
At least they get him to clean the road for NeuvilleQuote:

he is 7 years in the sport... does it matter if he lead an event (due to road position always) 3 times or 4 times... its nothing either way...
as i said location checks out...
Whatever makes you sleep at night NOT :DQuote:

clean and smart drive by Meeke and Evans. Latvala outpaced by Meeke... Lappi disappointing, at least still running compared to Mikkelsen who is the biggest waste in my opinion.
where Mikkelsen hit the stone,so many spectators side of the road,nobody tried to move?
Bunch of Dani Sordo fans ;)
nah, they are taking selfies
Why cant marshalls remove stones....which are thrown out by the previous cars??.... silly stuff
Well we still don't know for sure if it was only this stone but looks very likely. (ref. people who pass sure judgements without any info)
Hard to say what he should have done differently, he is on brakes almost until the stone then is on throttle that lifts the front just before.
Also dunno what he should have done differently in the rally, leading, no moments and then stone in the middle of the road.
Neuville is a disaster of this rally. +0.9 for Tanak who cleaning((
well done Ott and Martin, you survived your first day as cleaners!
starting to climb up tomorrow!!
Sordo issues on the road section ?
Sordo stopped on road.... bummer.
what a hell was going here?
He's standing still on the maps, on kind of a side-road from the stage. But Latvala was standing on similar position before, maybe it's some refuel or TC location.Quote:

Sordo stops! - He has parked on the road section to SS7. Reports that he has an alternator or battery issue. #WRC
Latvala's alternator is probably going as well, it's been that in the past when he has been reving it like that
what the hell Thierry. already giving up ?
This poor rally going even worse
2 cars out already and probably +2 more after this stage
Ogier slow !!
Ogier had an excuse with a puncture. The others ?
Which is why he will never be the World ChampionQuote:

ok the driving is over now...
We need a wall to get rid of this rally once and for all.
Bring rally where it belongs, to countries with a proper motorsport culture.
Lappi moaning about lack of lateral grip. We've heard that before but it must be hard for him seeing how superb Ogier has been today

@Karlip1
Sordo due to start in 2 minutes. He is about 10+ minutes away from the stage start still on the road section. Looks like another retirement for Hyundai in Mexico #WRC
man SOrdo doesnt deserve this :(
Compared to his terrible pace here last year it's actually an improvement.Quote:
