    Would have been a lot more solid if that hay bale wasn't in front of the tree, though. Good job by the Clerk or at least someone on the team.

    Just watched the official day 1 highlights, some epic tractor-censorship going on there:
    - Not a single word about tractor when showing the off, onboard starts just after passing it
    - Interview with Mikkelsen in service is cut off on the start where he talks about it so it starts mid-sentence with "... basically we crashed"
    - in addition the onboard is off course not uploaded on WRC+, so the only place to see it is on Alllive which will get deleted on monday or here: https://youtu.be/SGwgcCK9VPs and neither of those versions shows the marshal before the chicane

    I sure get they censor stuff like the monte crash in 2017. But nobody was injured here and it arguably wasn't very dangerous (certainly much less than those crazy vids from Spain SD).

    Yep, you wouldnt know anything had happened if it weren't for fans posting info and pics on social media.

    Noticed there's no OB for Mikkelsen on SS3 on WRC+.

    There was no comment from Latvala at the stage end either after hitting the chicane ?

    He got to finish at the same time as they started showing the crash, so no comments were shown, not in the highlights of the day either.

    That bale covering massive tree stump which was Molly hit and that destroyed a car, not bale

    It's more simple. Hyundai just better rally spirit team rather than all years cheating M-Sport. Ogier now not getting any respect and when win a 6th title by cheats, no driving - he lose last bits of respect, and no any farewell Citroen years could improve that.

    it'snot gonna be happen. Serderidis extremely educated, and will not ruin rally for others. Complete different approach than M-sport did.

    Time penalties doesn΄t affect road order (new rule after Ogier΄s Sweden stunt)
