Paddon 4th on SS1, 3sec off the leader.

[AL14]

Rovanpera seems struggling this time, already 53,9 seconds behind the leader after 24 kms.

Maybe he has some problem?

PS2: Scandola leads, Ucci 0.5 seconds behind, Campedelli 4s, Paddon 8.9 seconds.

Seems my previsions are turning to be correct.

[AL14]

Scandola slow puncture at PS3 loses 17 seconds, than on PS4 the wheel alignment is not good because of the puncture and he loses further 5 seconds.

Nucita, Rusce out. crews ok. Ferrarotti big problems, now more than 3 minutes behind.

Overall after PS4. (PS5 will be within 6 hours)

Famous San ROmolo corner!

Paddon and Ucci very similar, Scandola took the most of the street width, Rovanpera too much finnish , he has a lot of work to do on tarmac.

Paddon from Facebook:

Sitting 3rd after the first loop - amazing stages to drive and enjoying a lot. The locals are no slouches and the speed up the front is very hot. Now we look forward to some night stages tonight

After the checks carried out at the end of ps.4, it was disqualified Danilo Ameglio for lack of the underwear. Also confirmed for the same reason, disqualification for Toto Riolo. Of course, the suspension affects the entire event, and then can not start tomorrow for the second stage
