Paddon have a good times cuz all other just cruising? Sweet old Sunday driving?

So what we have learned from this rally:
1) Reports of Fiesta unreliability were exaggerated
2) There must be more than contractual issues that have stopped Toyota or Citroen offering Mikkelsen a drive
3) There is consistent and there is fast and only Ogier is both!

So R5s got more than 1s/km faster since last year? :-)

It merely points out that the effects of small differences in conditions and how each driver pushes are way too big on short stages for any big conclusions.

it was game over since yesterday.

For once we are in complete agreement (goes to lie down in darkened room!)

Why has Breen been moving like a snail from the end of yesterday?

Tidemand made a great time, Suninen can't do anything anymore
