Rally Portugal 2016

Its great for the championship that we have different winners!

I've got a mixed feelings. On one hand it's nice to see 3 different winners in the last 3 rallies. On the other hand it's only because Ogier was cleaning the road most of the time.

Finally there is some real excitement!

Actually Meeke was just building his lead from day 1 unchallenged. And Ogier still has a huge lead in the championship. Only excitement was Paddon's fire.
Do you call excitement 'will Ogier take back time lost during previous days on the Sunday sprint'? Mind you that Sunday stages was less than 20% of the rally...

Different winners are exciting only for statisticians - what matters is fight on stages. And Ogier can cruise to championship on only 2nd places, with wins taken by guys currently down enough on the ladder to have completely clean road. Because when they move up in the points they can no longer win.
