yep, it was massive and I think he know from prev.years that it possible or he recced that
PS I'm not Ogier fan but that man can avoid troubles

I agree with this. Maybe this time there was nothing to do and the same thing would have happened to Ogier if he would have been at the same time in the same place.

But for some reason its almost always Tänak there.

Tänak was 2 secs slower in first split but you say he was pushing?

double standards?

pushing it's not always about time. I can pushing a stage taking too many risks and been 1min slower than Ott taking it easy.
Seems Ogier faster here in safe mode and Ott need to push to be on his level and still be "2sec slower on split"

So Tanak just: "Ok. Let´s set the car 5 mm lower, we can avoid stones anyway... and I´ll be fastest on every stage today also..." No way. You just speculate. I´d say this is rallying...

Obviously I speculate. That's what the word "maybe" means.

Ostberg 6min late to TC and 1min penalty

Yes. Speculating. But didn´t want to add the word before...

Mads beating Suninen and Rovanperä big time on this stage

C3 r5 on the limit

I have no clue what you're on about. I think adding the word "maybe" 5 times in the post and then stating "none of us knows" should be clear enough indication of the speculation, but apparently not for everyone.
