    Gutted for Ogier and the rally; he was the only one still trying to catch Tanak. The Yaris is doing great but Toyota strongest advantage is Tanak; it’s him who’s making the difference.

    Like Ogier several times last year, Neuville seems to be in defensive mode; he’s not confident to attack and P4 points are better than none but Sordo is bravely proving that the i20 can be competitive on tarmac.

    Another disastrous day for Citroen; they lost the chance to fight for a top 5 overall and win WRC2.

    Nice to see Rovanpera leading WRC2 (so far he beat fair and square much more experienced guys, like Kajto) but there’s no way he’ll cope Kopecky pace tomorrow.

    @LouiseCookGB twitter shewrote that a local farmer parked his car at stage and stage interrupted.
    Any more of this?

    I think he should be satisfied, he made a mistake and still has good chances of scoring more points than Neuville.
    Even you don buy that, right?

    Kopecký when asked about his puncture said he does know where it happened but didn't see any reason for it. He said it was likely a lose stone on the road which punctured the tyre when the car was in strong compression.

    Ogier said he had 'no idea' where he got that puncture. Meanwhile, literally everyone saw on WRC+ that he hit a stone when he cut a corner a little bit too much. Does he simply not remember, or is lying his standard MO? Why lie in an age where your every move is recorded by at least 5 cameras?

    Why? There are 2 x 30 Km stages plus the PS tomorrow, and Ogier is close to be right behind Neuville. A better PS would give him more points than Neuville for this round, don't you think it's possible? Of course, any of them could run into trouble tomorrow...
