among other things at 4:52 it could have ended as quite massive crash if Beretta touched the green wall on the right.
fun to watch, but not exactly "rally" stage.

With very small differences, the first special held yesterday left Dani Sordo and Carlos del Barrio as best representatives of the South Korean firm, with Breen fifth and Andreas Mikkelsen even out of the Top10. Andrea Crugnola was at the top of the classification with the Volkswagen Polo GTI R5, ahead of Marco Bonanomi and his Skoda Fabia R5. The Varese rider would get his second consecutive scratch, already in the 20.5 kilometers of the Roccolo, while Sordo settled in the third, just after Andrea Nucita, while Breen climbed to the fourth, in his second participation in the test.
We had to wait until Saturday to see the true rhythm of Dani Sordo, author of the best time in the longest special, Grand Prix, of 44.83 kilometers, while Crugnola clung to the first place, holding four seconds of rent over Sordo . It was time to start managing traffic on the track, especially with the slower competitors, who lost precious time to the head men when they were found in the chicane and hairpin areas of the finish line. Precisely at one of these points there was the misunderstanding that would leave Piero Longhi out of the race, a regular test, which had a touch with Alessandro Bosca.
Ahead, the last two sections of the day, with Dani Sordo leading the way after the penultimate tour of the day in which Andrea Crugnola would have a touch with Craig Breen that would lead the Irishman to cross the finish line with a visible anger. Those 2.3 seconds of advantage of Sordo in the head of the race seemed to be the necessary change of trend for the Cantabrian couple, however, engine problems in his Hyundai i20 R5 would lead him to mark only the 23rd clock in the last leg , falling to third place (+9.3 seconds), while Andrea Nucita is second to 5.6 of Crugnola, back to the lead.
There would also be a change of order between Breen and Mikkelsen, taking advantage of the fact that the Norwegian was gradually gaining confidence with the R5 of the South Korean firm. A tenth separates the two futurists from Andrea Adamo. Luca Rossetti on the other hand had to say goodbye after experiencing brake problems during the morning and suffering an afternoon contact with Matteo Beretta that damaged the suspension of the Citroën C3 R5. For his part, Valtteri Bottas is the leader of the Rallycircuit in Paul Ricard with almost 20 seconds over Robert Consani.

Think you are mixing it up a bit. The final you are referring to was the Masters show after the rally where Hyundai motorsport didn't start in the R5 category but instead ran their own 4vs4 between their drivers in WRCs... with Adamo commenting. From my Italian he sounded quite happy (for him):

They used 2 cars so drivers were constantly swapping, also note that the cars were the "old" spec with old air intake and rear diffuser.
Round 1
1 Sordo 4:13.25
0 Mikkelsen 4:13.56
1 Breen 4:12.05
0 Neuville 4.13.54
Round2
2 Sordo 4:11.1
1 Breen 4:14.36
1 Neuville 4:13.0
0 Mikkelsen 4:13.64
Round 3
2 Neuville 4:11.11
2 Sordo 4:11.94
1 Mikkelsen 4:12.81
1 Breen 4:14.11
=> Sordo and Neuville 2 wins each, Mikkelsen and Breen 1 each
Final
Sordo 4:11.36
Neuville 4:12.18

My Italian is not that good but it seems that the flat gate was decided I. Favor of rox. They gave the same time as in the first passage and he got third place that is enough for Citroen to be manufacters champ in 2019.

Yes I fear so too, you just need to look at the new cost for tourists to get into Venice and when everyone sees the amount of money being made others will soon follow, and prices will go up. As...
