there is only one thing that is relevant in rally, and that's stage times. all the rest are excuses.
its not tidemand's first monte, he was there in 2017.
there are no excuses to be slower in a wrc than someone with the same or even less experience in a r5 car. its just as hard and difficult for all the other drivers too.
his performance here is not going to help his career. he has not done a single good stage, he has made barely no progress. i didn't expect him to be on the podium, but to do at least a few good times.

Sorry, shouldn´t answer this one either.
You have to look at whole Picture regarding Tidemand.
If you missed it I can tell you he said many times Before RMC he should only drive to learn the car. To be in as good positionas he could for RS.
With that in mind I´m not surprised at all. Also remember he has ONE shot at the beginning of 2019. That is RS.
After 2nd round, or rather, during, we can talk stagetimes. Or even overall...
Everyone continuing talking about Tidemand speed in RMC, please stop. You just make yourself a bit silly."Reis vas pät pat kaar vas kut"

Remember that they need to drive 4 hours down to Monaco tonight.
Also better for Tidemand to finish with a whole car instead of using the budget on a wreck on the 1st event instead of more rounds, 8 was rumoured i think.Last edited by SubaruNorway; 26th January 2019 at 14:28.

Your forgetting that loeb binned it after several stages hardly a fair comparisan. Again when compared to mikkelson you forget it was after he came back from being benched and probably told to get the car home. Try choosing comparasins where both drivers are going for it 100% and maybe you also forgot he was leading in corsica in 17 before engine failure and won in spain in 17 which is mostly tarmac. Loeb is also instantly quicker than mikkelson has been with barely a full days test in the car so does that say how good the hyundai is for an all time career psa driver to step in and be quicker or how bad mikkelson is?

Tänak got 20 points closer to Evans, but as the main reason was a bad rally for Evans, I would say that Evans lost 20 points to Tänak, not Tänak gained. The point is, if the other one does not...
