Two Russians still in the lead!
Four different R5 makes in the top four at the moment.
Also very bad time by Zawada on SS5, beaten by some R2's... what happened ?
Some fog on SS6 and a few punctures happening, even double front ones for Neubauer !
Some nice video clips on FB:

So the 6 proper stages of day 1 done and only Gryazin anywhere near to Lukyanuk (+21.9s)... it's a good job he is back in the ERC !
Disappointing day from the other 'challengers'.
