I understood, that this time it was the co-driver, not Neuville's mistake. As Neuville said, drivers can make mistakes, co-drivers can make mistakes. Those were quite intensive and fast-paced...

Tänak is getting "The Sunday Master".

Total points from the rally:
* Neuville 19 points
* Evans 19 points
* Tänak 20 points

So, most likely Fourmaux wins the PowerStage, and Taka wins the Super Sunday. At the same time - the top 3 is Ogier-Evans-Neuville.

Evans in "safe mode", slower than Mikkelsen in splits.

Fourmaux time is 10sec faster than Tänak's best on the 1st run.

If it could not be some proper luck day, we top4 retired already. And Taka for the win.

Was not my intention to call it.

Fourmaux hit the anti-cut pole. Now I hope the parts of it on the road do not cause problems (punctures) for others. Fourmaux leaped to the stage finish and can...

It is Sunday, 17 stages done and 3 to go, and so far:

* No one has any big (more than 10sec) technical impact or driving mistake to crash the car. Some lucky escapes due to the clean road-sides....

Everyone who thought after the 1st stage that the rally was done, you can rethink it now. And there is rain forecasted for tomorrow.

Interesting fact from Ingrassia - Lefebre is the gravel crew for Ogier, because Ogier wanted more precise and not-that-much-on-the-safe-side notes.

When road conditions are equal, it's quite interesting. 23.63km stage and everyone is quite close.

Really nice times from Fourmaux and Katsuta.

Just everyone will be probably smashed by...

So, close to 2h of driving and the difference between Neuville and Evans is... 0.0sec.

Eem, Katsuta 1.3 fastest (Ogier still to come) at the 1st split, 1.7 at the 2nd split.

Old bones need some warm-up and tomorrow he will start his fight-back for the win.

*Tänak has got the car to not lose too much now.

He did not have "too huge" time loss at this stage but lost one extra tool (soft tire) for the next stages, so potentially it produces further time loss.

edit: Neuville said, that it will not...

Neuville rear-left off the rim at the stage end. When comparing splits, lost ~9sec to Evans.

edit: I got confused by camera-position, it was front right.

Neuville rear-left off the tim at the stage end. When comparing splits, lost ~9sec to Evans.

Fourmaux is doing well. If we take the assumption, that M-Sport's Ford is not on the level with Hyundai and Toyota, then very well.

That is also true, but not that much compared to his closest rivals for the rally win. With returned starting order, the difference between the 6th and 8th car is not as much as between the 1st and...

So far, Neuville has achieved a really valuable "road-position trophy" for his good start of the season.

We should look separately at overall experience (which is of course valuable), and experience during last year. He is not talented like Loeb or Ogier.

Maybe we should just not have too big expectations of Mikkelsen? He jumps into the car over a long time, he lacks testing days, there is no reason for heroics, there is bad road position etc. We can...
