no Tanak stopped further. He jumped from junction where RBR version of stage turn left - and land hard.

Of course I do not wish reteirment to anybody, especially for technical reasons, but we all should be fer and say, that Tanak was the only one, who had his share of luck in Turkey....all others were efected. So, once is this period over. But, rally is far from over, Ogier is in the last time also prone to mistakes, so nothing is decided yet.

The on board is on allive (the evening "media zone" section). Tbh like Sardinia, it's not like it was completely out of his control.

Tanak has not done a single mistake this season that cost him a rally, he deserves more.

Looking forward to see if Latvala can annoy Ogier tomorrow. He needs to be perfect to win, though.
Tanak will go flat out for the PS which I hope he'll win, even if just for a handful of points.
Paddon will let Neuville pass probably, what if Mikkelsen passes Ostberg? Will he drop behind Ostberg again to drop behind Neuville as well?

Neither did Latvala last year...
And if you think about it, Neuville did very few mistakes last year that should have cost him the rally.

All these what ifs won't change a thing. It is what it is.

Also I'm fairly sure both Toyota crews are under orders to try to get ahead of Ogier tomorrow to minimize his points chances and maximize Otts.

well, sorry to disappoint you but i was very pissed off at that moment.

but still, i cant understand how they cant sort out some of their issues, for example the stalling with handbrake which also happens very often.

It seems to me that Toyota generally took more risky approach. You win something on speed and You loose something on reliability. How can we judge if that astrategy works or not other than by results? In this moment they are leading the manufacturer championship and even though they might not win the driver's title we simply can not say that their strategy has been failing.
