Good second half from Sesks tho, took back 2sec

...but, but, he is only the fast rally specialist...this can not be true...

Sesks delivers well, but let's hope that the usual "Friday hero" (this time Thursday) is small and he can keep it up.

As Rally2 cars are delivering the same pace as Evans and Ogier, then at the moment, we can not underestimate the road position to have an actual and realistic comparison with Evans-Ogier-Rovanperä-Tänak.

Glad that M-Sport got something to celebrate, I guess the team needs this a lot.

True, but the reference point for those on cleaner road are the ones around, in Sesks case, his reference are Fourmaux, Pajari, Munster, McErlean and Al-Attiyah. Check top 3 after the first loop. With much less seat time. This is very important for M-Sport moral boost, especially seeing how they celebrated Munster's Monaco stage win.

But punctures will decide this rally either way.

Cleaning or not, the main thing is that Ford at least in this rally, is not that bad as McErlean and especially Munster try to show us. I think we all knew that but to get a proof is another thing.

It's not like Munster or McErlean have been fast in at any other level of rallying, so i'm not surprised they are miles off the pace in WRC. If anything the Rally1 car will amplify the lack of raw speed, not mask it.

It's sad Msport has to pick whoever pays the most instead of talented drivers.

I think the intense criticism is a little harsh on McErlean considering he has been relatively on the pace on the 2 stages after the initial puncture, beating Al-Attiyah on both and far ahead of Munster.
Take away the puncture he would be running around 7th. Yes I understand he is not on Sesks pace but I think Martins is flying

Happy for Sesks and M-Sport, great to see the Puma back at the front.

Am I the only one that enjoyed those stages? 3 different challenges and something different. Yes a lot of cleaning in the last 2, but that’s not exclusive to Saudi.

I like watching the stages, with no times. As a competitive sporting event, I'm less fond of it...
