Rallye WRC Monte Carlo 2019

Seems like too early entry and then the correction send him out.

That's what I thought. Looked to me if he stayed on his initial trajectory he may have got away with it, but as soon as he corrected he was onto the mud and no grip. Probably is flat left if on right line and clean tarmac.

and BTW why a R2 cars now in Monte with new RC4B class? Any changing in regulation? All past years it's a simple RC4

With a help of some spectators from Finland, Evans and Suninen would not been DNF.

and Evans's car was totaled

Or he was never making that corner. Too fast into it

Thats how I saw it too, I don't think he was ever going to make it at that speed (maybe on a clean dry road, but its Monte) - though if he'd had a better line with later apex he might have got away with glancing off the face of the wall instead of what looks like catching the end of it.

I guess its a bit academic now whether the mistake was calling it flat in recce or misjudging the corner / losing concentration on the stage, the result is the same.

Why is he fifth then?
Yes-yes, he is quick and should be and probably would be up there without that rim issue but no reason to downplay others, especially a 6 time wolrd champion and multiple times runnerup-in what is their home event.

What are you on about?
Why is he fifth? Because he broke a rim and was slow yesterday, driving at about a 5th place tempo.
Today he has won both stages, doing what he usually does.

Greensmith top Ford then.....

[Rallyper]

Yesterday Tanak was out from podium already from start, because of cancelled SS3. Mentally and also tyrewise.

Today is Another day.

Evans car should not be able to drive any more. Like someone said. Looked like an Heavy impact.

[Rally Power]

Gutted for Mikkelsen, Evans and Lappi but the win figth (and P3) is still on. Greensmith is doing a great job but with this absurd WRC2 split Bonato may start to get defensive; he’s a relaxed leader on his category.

Why the F do we have only 4 stages today . What is this bullcrap?

Well we had 2 stages on thursday. Also a long liaison in the evening to Monaco. Two years before they only did a fifth stage on Saturday afternoon. Not much difference.
