no you lost.
When Mads pushed (pushing in his terms=1 minute behind 4th overall) lost his wheel.

Try to understand that his is not fast.
Waiting others to retire and gain their positions,is very different from trying to be really fast.
You see that today.
And please no more excuses about his starting order,the fiesta that its not fast,and that its not a works team.
Fiesta and team are up to win rallies.

Abbring also won a stage with previous gen i20? so what?

If it wasn't Abbring, it would be Camilli, so what?

EDIT: Actually I'm not surprised for a stage win, I'm surprised it is a very long stage and in my perspective with his driving style his tyres wouldn't last that long. Is he driving differently on those long stages?

Mads and Ola had to break Rally Sardinia on today's final leg, just 2 km before the finish.

"We hit a rock that broke a drive shaft front," said Mads. "It happened over a" crest "in a veibytte, with a fence on" Innern. " I'm not really quite sure what we met when I see inboard, other than that it was hard. We came forward with rear-wheel drive, but right before the finish the car stopped completely. The loose shaft has damaged one or other of the motor, and it was just to park. "

Up to this was Mads and Ola in the fight for the podium, and there is a disappointed Mads, who continues: "This was properly sour. We've resolved the issues that have slowed us earlier this year before this race and we had a car which worked out perfectly. Then we are ready to fight for the top times again and the fight for a podium place in the race. We would have liked to been in the fight until the goal. But that's it, and that's the game. Very rough roads here, but it's whatever I like sitting at the wheel who are responsible. "

It is not clear whether Mads and Ola can start again tomorrow. But with an engine that is not running, so it is doubtful. The team manages the incredible when it comes to repairing cars in record time, but the damage to the engine, there are strict restrictions on what they are allowed to change. The decision on it will be taken when the vehicle returns to service.

I didn't see that rock on the highlight, but he hit a stone side gate wall. I'm not sure how this would break a driveshaft though....

Yes, I just looked highlights, he cut too much, hit the gate-wall inside and that broke the car, that was strong impact while wheel turned out, usually it is the way to break steering or take a wheel off.
