    I agree Meeke looked unfortunate on that one, didn’t seem to do anything that should cause it. I read somewhere rim failure again, but that might be speculation.
    Much needed result for Mikkelsen, solid job for the team.
    Happy for Sordo, Sunninen...
    Bad one for Neuville, tried to push a bit on 2nd loop Friday and made mistakes which ruined his weekend.
    Ogier...I’ve said it before, it’s been coming, he’s been bouncing off a few things and getting away with it, but not this time.

    I agree (and I hope Toyota agree).

    It's just... he's a guy that pushes a lot, and he's a guy that gets quite a few punctures. Everybody is going to wonder whether it's related, whether he "weakens the tyres" by the pushing and they get punctures with no error at that instant.

    A couple of podiums and all this would be forgotten...

    Well, holy shit.

    If someone had told me that on Sunday SORDO would ever win another rally I'd have called them insane.

    And if they'd told me the podium would be Sordo Suninen Mikkelsen? I'd probably have bet something ridiculous like eating my shoes if that were to happen.

    Such a shame for Tanak, but the top 3 (especially Suninen and Sordo) were master class this time around. Spectacular drives from those three.

    And nice curveball for the pickems

    Nobody here will mind if you eat your shoes and upload it to youtube.

    "What crazy final, we could never have imagined this scenario! Another crazy race Ott Tanak deserved to win this rally, he was superior to everyone throughout the weekend, said Thierry Neuville At the microphone of Olivier Gaspard, the special correspondent of RTBF in Sardinia, he was much more efficient than the others, no one could really do the same time as him, but unfortunately for him, he could not This is to our advantage, since it's Dani (Dani Sordo, his team-mate at Hyundai, ed) who wins this rally, Andreas Mikkelsen finishes third, I finish for my sixth place, we score very important points at the manufacturers and drivers championships, which makes the championship even more interesting! "

    "At the championship level, it seemed bad start, but with the turnaround that occurred in the last stage, it helps us a little bit, took the quadruple vice-world champion.But there are still nice rallies to come, where we will be more competitive than this weekend We can not wait to make a break: I will go to Ypres, do some tests, then normally become a dad, and then we can focus on the future!
