Today, the rally win takes the deserved spotlight, but there is a bigger achievement we witnessed today for Taka.

Many have achieved a rally victory, but how many have achieved that everyone, including team principals for competing teams, are waiting for your win and are happy about it. That is a proper achievement as a human being.

Indeed. It´s hard to find anyone not liked Taka winning. My guess you wouldn´t find any person.

I'm happy for Taka winning too.

The only slight downside for him is he did so not winning a single stage (only Ostberg has done this before), and after the four big names all retired during Saturday.

Virves also won wrc2 without any stage win.

2012 Portugal - Ostberg was 2nd, but Hirvonen was dsq after rally and therefore Mads got the victory.
Also fun fact, Hirvonen didn't have any stage wins either
1999 Kenya - McRae won without single stage win also.
2010 New-Zealand - Latvala won after Ogier retired on last stage.
