Ogier 21 points

Evans was given the chance to close in on neuville in the standings on a golden platter, but he didn't take it.

So i gues neuville just gave up and took it slow. Even with half a spoiler he should have been faster than the rc2 cars.

I assume so.

Indeed. Not like losing the car or getting caught out on the braking, just driving into a clearly visible anti-cutting device.

I wouldn't be supprised if neuville still manages to get some powerstage points.

Tanak incident

As i said, he still has the luck of a champion. His mistakes could have ended his rally a few times, but he got away with it every single time.

he still has the luck of the champion.

i don't have to be a pilot to know something is wrong when i see a helicopter hanging upside down in a tree.

i don't have to be a world champion to see whether a driver is doing good or not.

Now that i think about it. Why doesn't hyndai lets mikkelsen do more rallies as a 4th car so he has a good starting position for croatia? I never quite understood why they limit themself to 3 cars,...

indeed. ogier, rovanpera and even sordo could take away a lot of points from him.

No, i was wrong.

They have both done monte and now croatia, but mikkelsen has also done the Rally Regione Piemonte (rally di alba) last week.
But i forgot that munster has done the central...

I assume just the dirt due to his road position. except for fourmeaux, the current standings are exactly like the start position.

just compare him to munster, who has done less km's on tarmac than mikkelsen.

Mikkelsen looks like a paydriver so far this season.

we see this more and more and I think it's utterly stupid.
One small mistake that would normally make you lose a little like a bend wheel time will now completely ruin your rally because you can't...

seems good. Here in belgium a lot of roads are worse when they are brand new.

Unless there are steep uphill or downhill section that just can't be done with slicks, i don't see any problem. They will just need to take it slow.

The only issue is that it will create very...

unfortunately so far, nobody. I fear if rovanpera returns after both neuville and tanak have retired, he might beat all of loeb's records.

If it wasn't for tanak Neuville would have had the same amount of points here as rovanpera, despite being 10 minutes down in 5th place.

Although it does make the results closer by making it...

You can have 20 or even 50 cars, but there will almost never be 10 that fight for the podium. There just aren't that many drivers on that level.

That's the pace of someone who doesn't have to worry about the championship, and has all his other competitors with nothing left to fight for.

But i still think it's stupid from him to keep such...

And why would you say this before the rally is over?
Seems like mind games to me.

seems silly that kalle still pushes when he has a minute lead and nr2 and 3 are his teammates.

He would have been multiple champion. But perhaps we wouldn't have seen rovanpera at toyota then.
