Road looks like it’s really deteriorating badly already in places, second run could be awful.

Good morning guys!!

Re Fourmaux, M-Sport only have a skeleton service crew here due to covid travel restrictions.

Solberg's car crabbing apparently

[MentalParadox]

Sounds like Solberg's car was crabbing at the stop control, could explain the poor time compared to Fourmaux.

[AnttiL]

Neuville tyre strategy paying off in speed so far.

Everyone had four softs on this stage anyway

[Rallyper]

The approach in Safari Rally Kenya should definately be not to rush from the start... I think this rally could even be won by Bertelli.

Solberg thoroughly beaten by Fourmaux.

It's his 1st stage on gravel in a WRC car - lets not expect too much. Especially on an event like this

He has some kind of issue causing his car to crab. I sure hope this rally doesn't end on day 1 for him already.
