Rally-Base is showing Meeke as O/A leader by 35s from Ogier...

correct decision.

As I have recognized, they have taken time from first run and added 2,8 seconds more...

No. It is wrong decision. Meeke should receive time of Sordo and Camilli time of Ostberg.

Seems fair theyve obviously worked out an average of time loss from the first run from the cars that passed and allocated meeke his time on this basis. Mr ogier wont be happy. But if i recall he got a time in a similiar fashion not so long ago so he cant complain really

Artifficial stage victory is wrong no matter how they came to the conclusion.

Meanwhile Kopecký going slowly through another stage. That is clearly some major issue, broken driveshaft or something similar.

EDIT: Kopecký with two punctures but only one spare wheel. He is going to retire most likely.

Double puncture. Only one spare so might be game over for today.

I think they calculated how much time the WRC drivers were slower than their first pass and gave meeke the time, in any case if the rally is won or lost by a few seconds then we can see if it was unfair or not.
