EDIT: Quickly verified last two seasons and it checks out...

However as percent of total stages I guess 2020 will be outstanding. Just guessing though...

Yeah, I could add percentage there but just now I'd rather watch snooker semifinals. 2020 will get approx half of the stage mileage that seasons in the recent years have accumulated (http://www.juwra.com/statistics_timeseries_stages.html).

Well tbh I'd say Evans drove a bit risky on that corner where he went off.

He drove "racing line" braking on left and going for apex, but braking on left meant braking on snow. If he stuck to the right side without snow he would make it.
Off course extremely easy to say afterwards.

Also waiting to look at Tanaks onboard before that.

EDIT: Btw. Evans knew that Lappi behind him had 3 snow tires in car, so he for sure was expecting he will lose that position and wanted to fight to keep up with Tanak.

I think the biggest problem with this situation is the lack of transparency, we have no idea what's going on behind the scenes, no one seems to bother telling us the reason for the cancellation, the only thing us as fans can do is speculate and try and evaluate the situation just from the videos and pictures we've seen. If AllLive wasn't so much far up their own asses maybe we would've gotten some answers, but when a stage is red flagged and they just immediately turn themselves off it tells you a lot about the way this sport is being handled. Yes I'm aware these are tricky conditions and that these are unusual times and they probably thought (again only speculation) that it wouldn't be possible to help during a scene of an accident, you can see how hard it was for them just to move Veiby's car earlier, I'm guessing they didn't want to take another risk.

The way he's just come over in that interview makes me wish he'd won it even more.
Chin up chap. You've made everyone sit up this year - onto 2021.

I am not sure you can expect more transparency from FIA/organizers, they are not run like a public affairs office.

On the other hand I totally agree that "allive" has way too much "tv mentality" of a scripted show. When something happens they should just keep working (from studio, stage end, w/e). Sure they will often have little info, but the constant turning off is really irritating.

They have their "tv stages" now every 3-4 stages, but they could still run non-stop between tbh.

Hoping we see footage of Evans, at the airport, getting a phone call, on Sunday afternoon.

On Sunday he will be driving the PS most likely.

[jonkka]

On Sunday he will be driving the PS most likely.

He should definitely do that... Imagine if he didn't and Ogier slips up on the PS...

On Sunday he will be driving the PS most likely.

You know what I mean!
