"Remember how Ott Tanak managed to say a lot without saying anything? His DMACK successor Evans is working on his own technique.

Analysing the stages, the time-loss is all coming in the snowy sections. The split times for SS5, for example, show the Welshman dropped a second in the first three miles and a mile in the last two miles – where the road was dry. In the middle, where the snow and ice remained, he dropped 20.

DMACK has brought a new winter tyre this event and the problem is thought to lie in the compound rather than with construction or stud-retention."
