When the top guys came you just saw the difference, although Latvala went also very wide there and Paddon took it also very wide but nothing too serious.
We were about 100 m further on the stage. I could see the exit of the right hander you saw and after that was a small downhill, a lefthander and a right hander in a small uphill.

In driving the lefthander and right hander combination there was huge different in choosing driving lines. The top wrc drivers used the left side of the road after the lefthander, less experienced wrc drivers like e.g. Abbring were more in middle of the road. The third category was drivers driving a straight line from apex to apex. A surprise for me was that Henning Solberg was one of those.

A close call for Kruuda and Tempestini hitting the bank after the first right hander during the first run and for Henning Solberg during the second run. For me the highlights was getting hit by small stones by Pontus Tidemand on both runs and by Paddon on the second run.

I didn’t see the crash of vetomiehet but I saw the cars when walking back to the car for a little break before the second run. As can been seen from the pics the lefthander is hidden behind the crest.
