I just checked separated leg 2 classification. Černý was just 0,6 seconds behind Valoušek in second day. Considering that Valoušek looked like pushing a lot more it's quite surprising for me (maybe even more that in second day Sýkora was slightly faster than both and all were faster than Odložilík). I think that Černý for sure has a potential to go faster in next events. It was all new now - the team, the co-driver and partially also the car as this Fabia S2000 is a top notch latest spec. which Černý never had before.

Respect for this stage, it requires big balls to attack this high-speed stage. At least 1/3 of the stage is over 150 km/h for the frontrunners, a lot of moments on the rpm limiter, very poor condition of the tarmac....
Indeed very dangerous situation as immediately after the start drivers are reaching top-speed and with unheated tyres it can become very ''slippery''.....

You are right that it's a stage which requires really big balls but what I hate about it is the huge number of artificial chicanes,mostly placed in crossroads. Unfortunately after the number of tragedies we have really strict rules which doesn't allow even a second pass of stage with average speed over 120 km/h. The event organizers have really hard work with cars and tyres being faster every year. The result is often a chicane-flooded stage like this one (the average speed was 119 km/h by the way). For example the most legendary stage of Czech rallying Malonty from Rally Český Krumlov will come soon. I can't imagine how they can keep Kopecký with R5 under 120 km/h if the stage is dry. Last year with S2000 on wet and with many chicanes the average speed was 119. Anyway in my opinion this rule is useless. It only complicates everything and doesn't bring much for the safety as in most cases the chicanes are not placed in dangerous sections but in crossroads, villages etc.

Great that Kopecky finally has some competition in the Czech Championship, Barum should be mega!
