Suninen with a similar issue LOL. Drivers and co drivers having to do a bit of extra fitness work at the end of the day

Seems to be more a setup issue.

Anyway by raw speed Ostberg was by far the fastest R5 driver today.

Yes he was.. the C3 R5 seems to be pretty quick now, although we should bear in mind he has nothing to lose after this morning’s problem.

But definitely something wrong with Rovanpera’s car or it’s setup. Kopecky quicker on five out of seven stages today, which on gravel is not normal.

If I was Citroen, I would run Seb after Ott to push him 1 place away from Sordo/Sunninen on the road. Not sure how much difference it will make as Ott has shown he is well capable of negating the cleaning effect of a few places, but it will at least give Seb a decent road position to test from. In theory Toyota can place both JML and Hanninen in front of Ott to disadvantage Neuville.
While it’s clearly within the rules, I think this could get messy as the season goes on. If you have an event where loads of guys suffer on day 1, the messing about of positions could get stupid throughout the event.

Actually, it could get worse, Citroen could then also move Lappi as if they assume that Toyota will move their cars then he would be first on the road anyway and unlikely to improve his position on pace so it wouldn’t make any difference points wise, and would hinder both Tanak and Neuville. Neuville could easily end up 1st on the road tomorrow rather than 5th as it would be now.

Yep it wouldn't surprise me if Neuville starts first tbh - a can of worms has long since been opened. Could get messy

Cirque de Soleil in Rally Sardinia way.. really thight top3 fight and they give everybody else same time as Tänak?! Except they had fresh tires for rest of the stages.. sounds good!

imo they should've give them Evans' time as last on the stage.

I would have given them at least Neuville's time and a set of brand new tires. poor things

No times at all would be as fair as it could be...
