Congrats to the winners, really great fight!
Very interesting dynamic as Neville showed incredible times in the beginning and got a pretty big lead, but then quickly lost the lead the next day and regained it at the end of the rally. At the end his driving looked most confident with clean lines, not much hesitation I guess fact that this is his familiar car played a role on his win but yeah he deserved it. Also I wonder if Tanak crashing out gave him confidence boost as everybody was expecting them to be fighting.

Tanak's crash was I think the scariest thing I ever saw on wrclive. Other two moments that I remember were Neuville's roll last year and Rovanpera's carsh over some tents. I am glad that they seem to be ok and they were really lucky. Also the strength of the wrc cars is incredible, reminds of video games. Also someone in prediction thread said that Tanak will be more crash prone this year, I hope not...

Evans is the man. Really great performance. I was expecting something from him, but he exceeded the expectations. His pace was equal to 6 times world champ, both in new cars. Really makes me wonder about next rounds.

Little bit strange that Ogier did win Monte in his first time in Citroen, but not with Toyota, but maybe the circumstances were different.

I'd say Loeb drove as expected, wonder why people are surprised.

Some good stages by Rovanpera. It is really interesting what we'll see from him in following events. Shows potential from the very beginning unlike Tiedemand or Greesmith.

Also happy for Lappi I hope this result will make him a more happy Lappi.

I think Suninen must hate this event:]

Katsuta not impressive, but seems like he could improve. He wasn't slowest all the time.

Overall, really exciting beginning.
