Shame about Ingram's puncture, but all he really wants/needs is a debut podium in WRC2.
He still has a good gap of 1m36 over Kajto in 4th.

Holly cow! I thought Neuville or Ogier could get car issues considering their pace on these roads but was far from guessing all the top 3 would be affected. Gutted for all of them and hat off for their efforts fixing the cars. No matter what driver one support, everybody should praise these guys.
Btw, I’m curious to know what some folks always eager to mention Ogier or Neuville alleged luck will say on Tanak winning this rally...Rally addict since 1982

Well Tänak was only 4th fastest here which is basically his slowest performance of the season (hard to count sweden). Then again you could say he was the one that drove without destroying his car.
Certainly lot of luck as well, but that's rally, sometimes it goes one way sometimes the other.
Personally (without seeing the onboard) I think Ogier seriously messed up here with the off after almost retiring. (also mistake on SSS). He could gain good points on Neuville. Similar story as in Germany where he could get good points but pushed for win and lost points instead. Somehow he is losing his cool .

Sunday is probably the shortest of its kind of the season, only 35 km. About the same as the first stage today.

Maybe I'm getting too old? But I'm not passionate about this kind of carnage. Sorry but that the winner of such event is the one who has encountered the least problem, which will be seasoned with a little bit team-order to finish. No sporting interest....

Other examples: Safari specialist Ian Duncan winning Safari 1994 in works Toyota. Mats Jonsson winning Sweden 1992 and 1993 with Toyota Sweden (only Sweden entered in '92, Sweden and RAC in '93)...
