[WRC] Rallye Monte Carlo 2021

Wasn't Garde even leading the championship after the first two rounds? Before things fell away for him....

Yes, by one point over Markko Märtin after Rally Sweden. Lost that lead after third round, though.

Solberg lost almost a minute compared to Mikkelsen.

Really good time for Bulacia.

Only Fourmaux keep close to Mikkelsen.

Gryazin (in addition to Mikkelsen and Fourmaux) now also past Greensmith, Taka and Loubet in the overall classifications

[RS]

I'd say throughout his career Garde had the same level as Lappi and Suninen, winning stages and getting podiums here and there but never having enough luck for a rally win.

Didn’t Lappi win on something like his third rally in a Yaris?

Judging by splits, Bulacia’s time looks weird.. unless he had better tyres for the last section.

classic Monte stage this was with splits also up and down expect Toyota drivers who had consistent split all the time.

Thierry fastest in split1, then lost a lot already on second split, then took time back again and lost again in the end. Tänak fastest till mid stage and then loses 18 secs to Ogier with the rest of it.

I would say a bit of luck was involved.
Garde was also 2nd numerous times

C'mon Gus, don't be mad, you are driving a WRC car, most of us are only dreaming of that!

He must have read this forum, that here are many faster and better guys, who could easily replace him...

Also let's not forget there were around 20 WRC cars that time.
