    Tänak - time loss to stage winner:
    SS1 0.7
    SS2 0.9
    SS3 0.1
    SS4 1.2
    SS5 0.0 (1.1 to 2nd)
    SS6 0.5
    SS7 5.8
    SS8 1.5
    SS9 1.5
    SS10 1.0
    SS11 0.8
    SS12 0.0 (1.5 to 2nd)
    SS13 1.8
    SS14 0.0 (8.5 to 2nd)
    SS15 0.1

    most of drivers MAY get SOME great stage time (with risks),
    great driver WILL get ALWAYS good times (with margin).

    I don't think that anyone from Boleslav is frustrated from winning every event where they started with the new car (Mladá is adjective which means young while Boleslav is a name of a man - strangely while Boleslav is a man's name, Mladá Boleslav is feminine form - but enough of our language lessons ).
    Much of this season Veiby has been fastest of all the RC2 entries. I don't think he is as fast a driver as Kalle or Mads. So I'm guessing it may be the car that is substantially quicker.

    (Thanks for the tip about Mlada)

    If that rock was there in the recce, no one would have hit it. Its ironic that maybe Tanak pulled he rock out..

    No improvement by the M-Sport's this morning...

    Millener said they had no upgrades coming here.

    All the other teams have either engine, aero or chassis improvements and its showing.

    Only Ostberg (Sweden) and Greensmith (Monte Carlo) managed to finish ahead of Rovanperä through the all events started this year (and Pieniazek if we count Rovanperä's accident in Corsica). Otherwise he won all events. That's what counts and the car reliability is a big part of the game. Kopecký was second behind Rovanperä in both outings he did and now Loubet is safely second behind Rovanperä in his first outing with the Fabia Evo. I really don't see any reason for complains.

    If I shall complain I would do that about Fiesta Mk.II which definitely does seem to lack and that is worrying for me. I would definitely like to have closer competition even as a Škoda fan. The victories taste better if there is a good fight for them (even if they don't come everytime). It's only good if VW or Citroën get fast.

    Why choose Camilli for Finland in the new R5 Mk2?
    They should have gone with a Finn to see the potential!

    Henning need to go back to Pirelli, that he know and drives best with.

    They had Suninen in Rally Estonia in that car. It didn't show any potential...

    Katsuta is quite experienced on these type of roads I think. Tidemand might have been a good idea.

    But Suninen drove it in Estonia and he was slow too.

    Well the new Fiesta is indeed worrying, afaik running R5 is one of the main incomes for MSport (certainly on the rally part). Less income, less likely they will be competitive and afford good drivers on WRC level.
