Those softs for Ogier don't look like a wrong choice at all.

I think Hayden probably paid special attention to Nambucca stage in his preparations for this rally. Now it's just regular fast driving.

classic Sordo
+0.5; +0.4; +2.3

Paddon took time at the second half because itswith wide roads.First half is narrow and technical. Same as happened at the long one with narrow parts off stage.

Valla16, 14.84km. A flowing 5.9km section through trees has been introduced at the start of Valla. After turning onto familiar territory, the shire roads become wide and open as they cross farmland, crossing several old wooden bridges. An artificial jump near the finish has been removed this year with a new 800 metre section providing the climax to the stage.

SAT 10:06 - SS13: LATVALA
A great fastest time from Jari-Matti - who is buzzing with confidence. "That was my comeback. I have been lost for six months but this stage gave me back what I wanted for a long time. I'm being brave, I'm not afraid of anything. No left-foot braking - just flat out." Wow.

Ahaha classic latvala, bet he crashes before the end of the rally.

Sat 10:06 - SS13: Latvala
A great fastest time from Jari-Matti. He is 7.8sec quicker than Ogier and buzzing with confidence. "That was my comeback. I have been lost for six months but this stage gave me back what I have wanted for a long time. I'm being brave, I'm not afraid of anything. No left-foot braking - just flat out." Wow.
