Rovanpera did what he had to do, with Finland and Estonia yet to come, he can cruise with no problems and extend his lead.
It makes me smile reading criticism of Neuville for not settling for yet another 5th-6th place or so, as if that would matter for the championship. Nobody driving a Hyundai can seriously challenge for the title this year. And probably not even Evans.
Impressed by Loubet in 4th.
Evans with a better car is in a lower position than both Hyundais & Breen, just shows you what a dismal season he’s had. It feels as if like once you take away Ogier from the equation, he loses his benchmark and I’m guessing seeing a 21 year old Rovanperä blitzing and having a commanding lead in the championship, isn’t doing him any favours to his confidence. Hope he can bounce back but it seems that for this year, the best thing he can do is try and help Toyota win the manufacturers title.
