Well, everything surprised me today!
Evans speed, Taka stayed on the road and still fighting for the win and Neuville/Tanak didn’t really make any inroads.

Evans deserved it, great drive.

Well done Elfyn. Well deserved. We can clearly say now it's Evans' year for the title. And it should be. I just hope that Seb will not be too egoistic, when he will show up and will help him if he will need it, because with so much points now he is favorite in the Toyota camp.

For me, the big star of the weekend is Katsuta. I really hope he will finaly win it, but it will come. The biggest dissapoint is Adrien with so much costly mistakes and decisions.

I think Evans, ever the sensible realist amongst the drivers, would be the first to remind you all that the season ends in November.

Problem is that he will open on all the gravel events untill his lead is gone. Early lead in the championship doesn't mean much with this starting order.

Well deserved victory for Evans.
About WDC title: Many rounds to go, though.

So Neuville didn't do that for he whole year, and more importantly didn't lead the leaderboard from the first event to the last?

Don’t see much of a improvement from the new Hyundai to be honest

Seems more & more likely that Hyundai will call it a day if this form continues…shame, used to like them (is what I’ll say once they’re no longer in the WRC).

Standings anyone?

I kinda hoped (for championship health wise) that if they won both titles last year that they will somehow reconsider their particiaption, but when manu. title gone in such crazy way I lost all hope. I hhave a feeling that even if they will won both titles this year they will be gone no matter what.
