    He will never get those lost points back, and now the first car on the road is leading the rally.
    But for all their Monte wins, how many Sweden wins had Loeb and Ogier due to opening the road...

    Or rather, Breen's time was quite slow. See how much faster Katsuta is.

    The modular design of the Toyota GR Yaris #Rally1 rear bumper allows that only rear of the fender is lost in case of side impact (allowing air removal from the wheel space, good for grip), while the other cars would lose part/all bumper. A wise design.

    I meant more they are both within 0.5s of Tanak.

    Plus Greensmith stalled at the start and lost 5seconds...

    Neuville seemed quite ragged, car bouncing all over

    Ogier won 2015 and 2016 Swedens starting first on the road. Loeb did the same in 2004.

    The point is that these guys didn't play these tactics, didn't give up points and they became champions.

    and that's why they are the best and most successful drivers in the history point is point. better starting position doesn't guarantee you a win
