Listen to security who often wanted you to stay on the outside of corners instead of the inside....? Like at the Kaito corner there was a stone bank on the inside which would have been a better place, half slow corner so not much chance a car could climb the stone bank we were on together with the marshal.
I heard several people had this experience, not sure what was going on with that.
This is only rumors and what i heard so don't take it facts.
SS3 was cancelled because of people on the two crests in the tight forest 200m before my first clip on SS6 (4:45 if you watch Neuville) but it's not a spot i would judge as that bad, if the entry to the jump was faster then for sure yes. Police was put there for 2nd run, i was 50m from the road in a really bad spot 1.5km earlier on SS3.
SS6 was stopped for Mikkelsen because of an ATV crossing the road.
I don't think i was in any really bad spots this time, bit close behind a big tree on a random fast right left in SS13 since i had to find a new plan and walked 2.5km in from the start because of tape too far from the road to see anything at all in another spot.
When the green tape is 30m inside a corner in the middle of the field you often can only see half the car in Poland, running the event later in the year when the fields are cut would help a lot, also it doesn't seem like they use edge trimmers on tractors in Poland like we do in the norther countries so bushes are so far into the road in places it makes it difficult.
If you saw the Munster jump in SS4/7 it's crazy how they put the tape on the left, straight on 3-5m from the road where people were 5 rows deep, it's a spot even i wouldn't stand, also because of the big rocks in the road there.
On the right of that jump you had to be 30-50m from the road, so low you couldn't see much, it was so randomly placed in many spots, also on the outside of a tricky tarmac corner after a straight in SS9/13."Die with memories, not with dreams" Scott McIsaac

Yes, Evans leads by points, but Evans is quite far behind when we watch fighting speed and stage wins. This year top: * Rovanperä 50 * Tänak 49 * Ogier 48 * Fourmaux 19 * Evans 18 * Neuville...
