Night Pindula by Llarena. My Spanish is horrible but I think I heard the co-driver saying "Puente Gryazin" before the place where Gryazin crashed in 2019 (it's at 7:56).

Kopecky has a theory that he had harder tires and Cais softer, but start of the stage was dry, so Cais might have felt he needed to push "more" on the wet part.

Cais had hard tyres on the rear axle on the last stage.

Kopecky says Cais had crossed tires:

Cais crash

Seems he was driving safe but made small mistake

Heartbraking the reaction of both inside the car...

Kopecky onboard SS11 and "funny"? comment at 3:50?

"Fuck, it doesn't turn, dude!"

And the ERC agrees !

He also mentioned how closely M-Sport is following Cais progress

Interesting. I wish a few more thought like this for their future and helped M-Sport's Rally2 sales. Hopefully the Rally3 car will be good for them in this way though.
