    Extremely impressive two days from Solberg, seemed very cool under pressure today so hopefully can keep it like that tomorrow. Neuville very impressive too. Looking forward to the battle for Sunday points, hopefully Rovanpera can find a little more too.

    Oliver shuold be over the moon today. Not just because he is doing so well overall, but also that he is beating Kale like that. I mean because he probably was so disapointed after his failure at Hyundai, being in similar situation to Kale as a son of a famuos rally driver and of similar age, but he learned well and came back prepared.

    Whatever happens tomorrow, Oliver has been awesome. For his sake I hope it’s dry and he can just drive normally to take the win.
    You could sense that Tanak was pissed off that he can’t seem to take much time off him or Neuville. I expected him to get himself into the position Oliver is in tonight before the day started. He is noticeably fast in the narrow sections however, particularly on first passes he seems to gain a chunk of time in the narrow.

    End of day 3 and we have zero retirements from the TOP category and basically zero major mistakes. Is tomorrow going to be a killer day?

    One (half) day left to reach glory for Oliver. If he wins, it will be remembered as one of the most unexpected wins in WRC.
    I think it has been one of the best rallies of Neuville's career so far, considering it's fast gravel, putting up such a fight to Tanak in Estonia. But he might get just a 3rd place to show for it...

    Yes, Thierry's rally is good as Solberg in terms of execution. Let me put this way, if positions stay this way, Neuville gets 9-10 and Tänak 8pts on Dirtfish rankings.

    If I were charge in Hyundai plan for Sunday would be freeze situation with top drivers (still to keep up reasonable tempo to score points) and order Fourmaux to go full attack because he is out of team points atm.

    Tomorrow we might see rain on powerstage.

    Neuville wants that 2nd place for the championship.. He would be 40 points behind with that result, considering Sunday, than maybe 35 or smth behind Evans or Tanak.. That is still an okey gap? Lot of rallies left, Paraguay and Saudi rounds very unexpectable and tarmac which suits him.. I wouldn't write him off yet this year..

    He's not out of the title fight yet because there's nobody dominating, unless Tanak starts doing so. But I think Thierry won't go crazy for that 2nd place, he knows that taking 4 seconds from Ott in 3 SS of Rally Estonia requires massive risk. On the other hand, Neuville has to push for Sunday and PS points, and so does Tanak, so you never know.

    I didn’t expect solberg to keep his lead, but i'm glad i was wrong. Any team looking at the future should try and sign him.

    So Tänak had all these years to slow down or held the position. Wasn’t even allowed to win in Greece 2022 with title chances but Thierry can fight whenever he wants

    And cmon guys. That Tänak sentence was with a joke and he is his own biggest critic and he was pissed about himself not Oliver.
