[WRC] 80. Rally Poland 2024

[CeskyOndra]

Cais as candidate for CER?

Cais needs to be more consistent and getting better results in Rally2 I think

[Corcaíoch]

Checked the rules that starting order is set.
Bad for Seks since some of the timeloss on SS6 was likely due to cold tires.
Very good for Neuville since Katsuta (and Tanak) will start ahead of him.

This was my understanding too (haven't checked the rules) but Fourmaux & Coria clearly thought on the coverage that they would be starting behind Sesks tomorrow?

Good speed by Evans today. This weekend is his big chance to make up a lot of points.
Neuville 3rd on the road tomorrow, Munster should be easy pickings, but everyone else is 20-30 seconds ahead. Apart from mistakes and problems, not easy to make up that ground before the end of the day.

Watching Poland on Erc in past years,it was easy to predict this kind of behavior from the fans.

I know this is a bit off topic but when was the last time Mikkelsen led a rally? (guessing 2019, but when?)

focus, dont forget the weather. Right now, its really looking like a storm coming to play in a few hours and it won't dry until morning. Mikkelsen and Sesks quite unexperienced with Rally1 in wet conditions. If it really rains, it is gonna be great to watch how the drivers will adjust their set-ups for wet conditions!
Anyways, I think, that Kalle will take this one.

Rains gonna pass in 3-4 hours and then its bone dry again. Probably a damp road in the morning.

Turkey 2019 (second last rally), but that was a joint lead and only on SS.

Proper is Mexico 2019 until a puncture.

Watched onboards of the cancelled stages (only on phone).

I think the issues on SS3/6 were mostly in the last forest, definitely on the first pass. However I am not quite sure about the last stage, maybe the field section after start with 2-3 guys in the grass. Maybe easier to spot something on bigger screen.
