Maybe you´re right. But do they have gravel or tarmac crews? Wasn´t it mud thrown by onther cars on the surface?

Yes, it was but that's part of the experience from driving similar events. Be sure that those who know such events are able to expect where mud will be and can put that into their pacenotes. I think for Alex it was completely new experience in Austria so it's not really something to blame him for. It's important to take a lesson for next time.

One could analyze ones mistakes the easye way by letting other people, circumstances etc take the blame. But tis way it will only happen again under the same circumtsances.
One could also analyze ones mistakes the hard way, by taking responsibility and analyzing what one could have done differently, to avoid the same mistake again.
Mud being thrown on the road on a tarmac rally held on mixed surfaces in the rain is a rule, not an exeption.
Being aware of the outside of the road when You write pace notes so You know where it is "safe" to go off/push (like Loeb always did), is of utter importance.
Lukyanuk is still inexperienced, and is still extremely fast, and this was a very difficult event to have a one off in a new car/class, but it is still his own mistake. But that is not important. The important part is what he takes away from it, how he digests these new experiences to something that can help him be even faster and safer.
Lukyanuk is a very smart man, and I am sure that he will come away stronger and fasterhttps://www.facebook.com/noseendfirst?ref=hl#

Lukyanuk has never driven proper tarmac rally. One test before this rally, a few ss km in Estonian championship (motly sss city stages and a few more stages in Viru rally) and I belive he has never used tarmac tyres on those rallies as well. So, to go with that speed on first rally is good, however, seems that he needs to slow down a little.. at least for the beginning.

Hard way or easy way could even be same thing this time. I´m sure he´ll take with him the experience and avoiding this kind next time. But there are several more things to learn, which I belive he will if he gets the chance driving R5 in the future. We are many fans wanting to see him up there.
