[WRC] Rallye Monte Carlo 2022

[Danny0405]

Tanak should be able to come back tomorrow with Super Rally, no? (The top 50 is 30 minutes but, as Tanak finishes SS11, there is only 2 stages remaining so 20 minute-penalty).
Or is there another special rule

Ogier and Loeb are not going for full season.Didnt understand why he was hunting them.
O points.

Yep, it is why I said blockhead mode: it is a real threat for Toyota if he cannot be cool head in clutch moments
In 2013, Ogier didn’t take the full risk against Loeb in a similar situation.

as i understand rally1 cars can now join tomorrow

Evans again in Monza blockhead mode, let’s hope he will not do not often this season, especially for Toyota.

Seems better for Breen today, happy for him (and above all M-Sport) if he proves me I’m wrong about his potential.
Let’s see if Loeb can reverse the tendency for M-Sport also

That makes me think it's a very unpredictable season: If Evans doesn't pull it together all year and Kalle is not consistent, Hyundai boys with questionable car, Breen first full season and Fourmaux maybe sometimes fast? It'll be like MotoGP without Marquez

TBF Evans small mistakes always seem to be costly. He doesnt get much luck like Ogier does.

I agree that Evans didn't play the smart game and tried to chase Seb I and Seb II. He could have got more points taking their positions but this wasn't really the rally where to try and do that.
Breen getting better, no mistakes from him. Not very fast, but so far so good.
News on Neuville? Probably 2 more slow stages incoming, maybe he can get away with 6th...

Here (like in Monza in 2019), it is not only luck, it is being able to keep quiet.
As I said, in 2013 in a similar situation, Ogier did not take the full risk against Loeb. And Ogier became even better in this «*calculation*» game through his career (to be completely honest, he was also forced to this strategy with the «*road position rules*» + the fact of being in less dominant car, especially 2018).

Tänak info

The puncture he picked up in SS11 is a very small hole in the sidewall and he's trying to fix it. He’s got some form of gummy solution to stick over the whole and a bicycle hand pump, but it doesn’t look like it’ll go very far.
