More like Hyundais were able to stay on the road, although Tanak made some cuts that got the stones on the road too.Quote:

I agree, traditionally there has allways been these kinds of rallies as part of the championship (Greece, Safari, Cyprus, Turkey and previously Cote de Ivore, Morocco etc). But not a great last rally of the seasonQuote:

Waiting for Monte with stable performance with slicks on ice and snow, no tyre lottery and all equal racing. Or hyundais mega performance on canaries..
Ogier is taking what he deserves with better speed and wise driving. Seems thst Evans just left it for too late
My money is also on Ogier retiring on PS.Quote:

If Tanak and Rovanpera would be in top2 And could have avoided puncutres, then it would be an awesome rally :D
only 9 years to go with this rally, so no worries. Wrc can't decide what cars they will be running in 13 months time :D
My early enthusiasm for the rally I’ll admit has turned to a bit of frustration, this has become a lottery with the punctures.
In the modern WRC, this rally really needs Mousse Tyres to make any sense.
I am disappointed. I was really hoping that Sesks would get at least podium. Obviously his aggressive driving style has bitten back as he has now 4 really nasty punctures.
Fourmaux got 35s back from SS16:
from 16:23.2 to 15:48:0.
Fourmaux got some time back. He's now 2nd, 54s behind Neuville. Ogier is 3rd, 16s behind Fourmaux.
Thierry will take it easy for sure. Only punctures / problems can take the win away, and with this rally and Hankook you never know.
Ogier can also take it easy for the title (although Katsuta's car is in shambles, and something could happen to Pajari, which would bring Evans right behind Ogier)
That nominal time has serious implications for Sunday points. The power stage will be a real shoot-out now.Quote:

Cmon, Elfyn Evans
Bye Kalle, hope you're back soon.
Katsuta took away Evans's title with his mistake..
Evans possibly still in the game if Ogier finishes 8s behind on PS and someone slots between them
7.2s is enough.
Its enough.. Just if Katsuta hasn't rolled or retired..
Congrats to Ogier and Landais, well deserved, hopefully next year they’ll get a nice livery to match the number one on the car.
Sesks retired on road section
And Neuville didn’t win a single stage. Lol
Congrats to Ogier, he has been utterly amazing this year and well deserved.
Like winning on paper
Single stage win and winning by 54.7 seconds, when 5 stages before the end he was in fifth is quite phenomenal
Edit: 0 stage winsQuote:

Yeah, so next year fight Evans-Ogier-Neuville-Fourmaux?
I think it is even more astonishing to win a championship with a part-time season. Without contesting in 3 events he gave away potential 105 points.
