    Rally Bohemia is finished and the name of the weekend is Dominik Stříteský. Started a bit slower with a small off on SS2 but got to a third place overall in the last stage of the first leg. The second leg started with a puncture for Mareš which sent him back from the second to the fourth place. Stříteský appeared on a second place just few seconds ahead of Černý and Mareš. To my surprise he didn't give them a chance to fight back and instead kept enlarging his advantage stage by stage to finish on a well deserved second position. First start in the works team, first start with Fabia Evo and fifth 4WD start ever. I really hope Škoda gives him a contract, if anything else they need a local successor of Kopecký.

    Černý a bit surprisingly managed to keep Mareš behind him as well. Behind this Bulacia made a comeback from his yesterday's mistake and managed to climb to fifth place (hit a verge stone and as a result drove another two stages without one brake disc and caliper).

    After retirements of Pech and Vlček Škoda had 9 cars in top 10. A nice way to celebrate 125 years of the brand and 120 years of the motorsport department.

    1. Kopecký (Fabia R5 Evo) 1:27:15,1
    2. Stříteský (Fabia R5 Evo) +1:08,4
    3. Černý (Fabia R5 Evo) +1:21,4
    4. Mareš (Fabia R5 Evo) +1:29,7
    5. Bulacia (Fabia R5 Evo) +1:56,8
    6. Cvrček (Fabia R5) +2:53,1
    7. Odložilík (Fabia R5 Evo) +3:00,9
    8. von Thurn und Taxis (Polo R5) +4:08,0
    9. Trojan (Fabia R5) +5:57,0
    10. Tomek (Fabia R5) +6:10,5

    2WD:
    1. J. Dohnal (Clio S1600) +1:35:17,8 (20 sec. penalty)
    2. R. Dohnal (208 Rally4) +54,4
    3. Stejskal (Clio R3T) +2:07,2

    Notable retirements: Pech (Focus WRC) - hydraulic, Jakeš (Fabia R5) - accident, P. Semerád (Fabia R5 Evo) - accident, Březík (Fabia R5) - accident, Vlček (i20 R5) - fire

    Kopecky like clockwork again, watching the videos he really uses all the road but accurately and safely. A great benchmark for the young guys.

    Stritesky ended with the perfect result for his first time in the works team, i’d say the chances for him going forward are good! I was going to say I feel a bit sorry for Mares who has generally been second quickest to Kopecky in the R5 cars this year and would have been again without his puncture, but I just googled him and didn’t realise he was as old as 30 already! Petr Semerad another one to watch?

    Other than his accident, I was pleasantly surprised by Bulacia’s pace on unknown Czech roads (third quickest on leg two)

    3. Štajf (Fabia R5) +17,1
    4. Trněný (Fiesta R5) +40,0
    5. Vlček (i20 R5) +42,8
    6. Kurka (Mini WRC) +1:108
    7. Dohnal J. (Clio S1600) +1:52,6
    8. Hanák (Fabia R5 Evo) +2:03,1
