When was the last WRC round Mikkelsen led after day 1?

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

Why bone dry? Forest sections are already damp and if it rains a lot, it wont dry up until the afternoon

Tänak will restart tomorrow confirmed by Hyundai in Twitter

Australia 2017 and then just two rallies before Catalunya 2017.
Both with cleaning advantage, but that's standard for most Friday leads.

Tanak is on Saturday's startlist.
If I think correct then.. if no rally1 retires on SS9, then it would be logical for him to retire after SS9.
(Sorry for many if's and retires )
If all rally1 cars complete SS9, then there is no way to get any car in front of him and no point to waste brand new engine.. but we'll see.

Bone dry reference was about the weather, not road surface

Hows that gonna work?

Here are supposedly some highlighted locations.:

On SS7 you can see the police heli hovering over that spot at 4.6km in the live broadcast. Pernilla Solberg talked about that to Dirtfish.

Hows that gonna work?

Today there were 7 stages, Tanak got +70min penalty.
Tomorrow there are also 7 stages and if someone retires on first stage, he would also get +70min penalty and then it depends on Tanak, if he gets less time loss than the one. Maybe it would help 1 place better starting pos on Sunday.
Okay, nvm.. too complicated story.

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

Sadly, that's true
Czech fans will create amazing show to support our guy in R1 Machine, but Cais performance sadly isn't on level which could give him a R1 run
