Tough event; anything can happen on these conditions but I wouldn’t be surprised to see Basso easing the pace as he’s on his own at the CIR classification. Btw, Força Antunes!
Plus Breen; my money’s on him. Btw, nice show from MRF rubber so far; they’re doing better than Michelin.
Yep, definitely there’s something with the car and it’d be interesting to talk about it on R5 thread.Rally addict since 1982

I think this is a bit of a joke, tbh. If they were that fussed about getting a result, why only send Fourmaux? Why not Lappi or Suninen? Or if you don't want to risk them, bring back Camilli? Fourmaux hasn't really shown that well in any event in an R5, be it the new Fiesta or old one. They sent Fourmaux because he can be blamed if the car looks slow. I hope at least that M-Sport actually paid for his drive if they're going to have a go at him...
Good lesson to learn before the stakes are higher! Bring spare glasses!

It's hard to state the case against the Fiesta R5 Mk2 here in Rome when Formaux has a puncture then crash, Mayr-Melnhof had an engine issue & puncture and Cais damaged the suspension.
M-Sport team principal Richard Millener told DirtFish: “Adrien rolled in the second stage. This is a massive disappointment for us. We came here to show what the car was capable of and we’re not going to get the chance to set a single time".
“Firstly, I am relieved they are both OK, it has been a huge impact and although I understand it’s a very fine line between bringing the car to the finish and pushing to be competitive, we needed Adrien to find that balance. He hasn’t and now we have a car which is destroyed. We had high hopes for Adrien. Like I said, very disappointing.”#M-SPORTER

Great SS4 by Breen, loves this narrow stage.
Herczig stopped - off road, hit tree & puncture.
Oliver Solberg - Quick glasses update: they were too damaged and couldn’t be fixed, so we go on without!Last edited by Fast Eddie WRC; 25th July 2020 at 16:13.

Herczig crashed, maybe as a result of the crash.
Regarding Oliver, are you allowed to race if you need glasses but are not using them?

I think Oliver only just started wearing glasses so his eyesight can't be too bad?
Really impressed by Lukyanuk so far this rally. Fast and consistent with some strong competition present.

Tänak got 20 points closer to Evans, but as the main reason was a bad rally for Evans, I would say that Evans lost 20 points to Tänak, not Tänak gained. The point is, if the other one does not...
