    Itīs unbelievable how Kalle is able to drive as fast as Evans & Ogier with so little tarmac experience with the World Rally Car. Super talent indeed, but of course he is already the WRC winner!

    I’m a Kalle fan, but I’ve still been blown away by his pace and flawless performance. Impressive job to be so equal to the more experienced teammates in this difficult event where many young drivers ended up in the ditch.

    Hopefully he can keep it on the road tomorrow, in any case, he's been mightily impressive here considering the fact he has significantly less experience on tarmac than his team mates with a WRC car.
    Only you know your true potential.
    This year we rally #ForCraig

    What i believe is his main advantage here is that ogier and Evans have just as little experience. Except for breen and neuville this is a virgin rally for everyone.

    Butt no matter what, i'm impressed by kalle.

    Waving black flag Sadly we won't be able to continue the #YpresRally tomorrow. This is to avoid causing any further damage to the overheated engine. But we found a good feeling with the Ford Fiesta Rally2 this weekend and even had the confidence to push, and set fastest times once again.

    It has been said before, this scenario is typically Ypres. But I'm impressed by those who are able to break the trend.

    Rovanpera is unbelievable in his car control at such a young age. At Dikkebus 2 he took a series of downhill kinks so beautifully. You think he's losing it, but he just uses a bit more of the road. To do that constantly is impressive. It's a joy to watch.

    Tanak as well. I'm dissapointed he had that puncture, because he was driving smart.

    Neuville does what he has to do. You notice he's more at ease with the cuts, bumps and grip changes. And speed doesn't bother him at all. Where others left brake, he goes flat.

    Breen is amazing and I would like him to fight for the win, but sadly that won't happen. I've seen him yesterday drifting like 10 centimeters away from a concrete pole on the outside after a fast blind corner. Brave but also insane! He really deserves a fulltime seat.

    Ogier isn't doing bad, but his whining kind of annoys me. So it probably blurs my judgement.

    Fourmaux, Loubet, Greensmith, Katsuta are the victims of this rally (and many more). The crash from Katsuta was at a weird spot. I didn't see the beginning, but the end looked really bad with that group of spectators there. Luckily everybody got away. Someone heard Katsuta tell to Ogier he didn't expect a bump there and couldn't turn in. Pretty incredible they got that pole out of the way in that amount of time.

    See you tomorrow for something completely different.
