Meeke said he reversed into a ditch after a spin... oh dear.

The guy leading 2wd, Jean-Baptiste Franceschi, seem to be a pretty capable driver.
Won everything in his class in france last year. Seems to do JWRC this year.

Well Meeke anyhow, Breen seems to be pleased (a part from his 'mistakes' or whatever you want to call it)....

Cmon guys, just 2 stages in...They both did mistakes and Breen had amazing time on SS1 despite being stuck in the snow. They have definitely improved.

I agree, but it's only 2 stages out of 17, long way to go, really hope both Breen & Meeke fortunes improve for tomorrow.

I think we will learn a lot tomorrow. Monte is known for attrition so it could be anyone in the end.

All in all I think Citroen did good. Breen was flying so the car is doing fine.

Interesting start to say the least.

Great job by Ogier as expected but no luck for Evans was a real shame. Bouffier steady and can improve.

Of the other teams, Mikkelsen was most impressive. Great times on very dirty roads. He could really challenge.

Meeke seemed pissed off also on the Autosport show, during kick of at stage.
He really dont seem to be very happy these days.
To bad, I like Meeke.

I hope he gets a good day tomorrow!!

Why do some cars carry stickers with a crossed out spiked tyre? I assume it means they do not run studs but why do they have to carry a sticker?

Julian Porter had this on his twitter page the other day ,
