no stage win for Tänak from this rally it seems
all the time loses all the time on the second parts of the stages, Sordo took 5 secs out of him in here

Mikkelsen controlling the gap between him and Solberg. Yesterday's broken gear shift lever on SS7 made a things a little bit more interesting time wise, other than that - he won the whole rally on day1.
Well according to J. Porters accurate reporting right now Lindholm has been closely fighting with Mikkelsen whole weekend? (30s is close? Solberg is invisible?)
Before the rally I though Kopecky could win this, but without practice and so less km's inside the car didnt help his confidence. And of course weather conditions also.
Kopecký also had left front puncture on this one. His time is not that bad for finishing with a tyre off the rim.
Usually I´m not that interested in points scoring. But now:
Anyone counted where Ogier can be, without loosing the title. Third overall? Too lazy myself finding out actually...
Those who were angry about stage cancellation yesterday, some reading for you :)

It is exceptional situation and in exceptional circumstances, models does not work well, because they learn from existing cases.
If you go just a few tens of km-s north from rally route you can see already meters of snow. and if you read this article, you can see that maximum expected snow in the mountains region is over 5 meters, then you must understand that in the region hit severely by COVID and now by flooding and snowstorm, you just cannot direct all your best forces and machines to secure sport event. I know it is frustrating for us, but we have to understand also the general picture. Even if you have access by ambulance or firetruck along the stage (organizers put huge efforts to clean the stage overnight), if you access roads are blocked by snow and imagine the stage is blocked by crashed cars on the narrow steep downhill route, you just cannot take too much risks.
