Sponsored by Pirelli but riding with Michelin

Ogier is angry about lot of polution on the road, when he was doing full championship, he always had the best position. And when he is angry and not pretty happy, then the times don't come. Lets see tomorrow, we have to mention that he is already quite old and in the dark you have to be pretty much on it.

One of Ogier's talents was picking the right tyres when conditions were mixed ice/snow/dry. With all dry he hasn't had that advantage on the first leg. I think that's added to his road position disadvantage.

For me, "Night of the long knives" should be at the end of rally, as a highlight of the event. Not first two stages on Thursday night...

Hah , you are lucky that you are not reading the Czech rally forum. There is already 2024 title decided

Who’s the champ?

I don't know, but I'd like to imagine they believe it should be Jan Kopecky!

This absolutely the best way to kick off a new season and the event. I wouldn't have it any other way. Also, I wouldn't use the reference you used (with a mistake or on purpose on the first word) in this context.

also some night stages at rally Sweden would be nice, it's so special.

The last forest stages of Friday and Saturday in Umeå will be in the dusk/darkness. Also the city stage on Thursday and Friday evening will be in the dark, and the first stage on Sunday starts at dusk.

I have to say Pepe Lopez is a nice surprise. How many of us expected to see him leading the class?

And what’s the issue with Solberg? Way to slow at the moment

Gryazin, Rossel and Pajari all did Rally Du Devoluy as a warm up so possibly a bit nore dialled in than Solberg.. not an excuse against Lopez though!

Last year was also dry and Ogier won the first five stages and rally comfortably without any tire gamble.

Maybe it just takes some time for old man to warm up but yesterday it seemed like he even didn’t want to be there.

Let’s see what day2 brings then, please no technical gremlins for any competitor.

Do we have tyre choices?
