Oh Virves, please reach to the finish with this tempo and the category lead is yours.

He did it! This is an epic thing to follow.

Great job Virves!

This year finally he can show his talent with a proper machine.

I know it’s only a first day but nice to see Tänak and Järveoja bouncing back after difficult run of events.

Out in Poland on SS2
Out in Estonia on SS2
Out in Finland on SS3

The only one they finished was Latvia

Tanak and Martin are really unlucky this season. Because Tanak is one of the drivers that rarely do driving mistakes. I feel for them especially for Martin since I am a huge Martin Järveoja fan. I wish 2 things to happen
1) Tanak and Rovanpera in Toyota fighting for the title
2) Ogier and Rovanpera full season in Toyota

Second scenario is unlikely to happen but for the first one there is still chance for that and that would be an OP team.

However, it is sad to see no one in terms of speed in this rally can catch up with Ogier. The only driver who can really be faster than him and challenge him is not in this rally.

I believe both tanak and neuville can challenge him if it wasn't for road position and technical problems.

Tomorrow will be mostly about survival and avoiding mistakes for everybody... Tanak has no challenger for the lead, Sordo should let Neuville pass, Neuville should avoid mistakes to keep at distance from Ogier so that Hyundai will be able to slow Sordo down for the swap, Ogier is too much behind Neuville to catch him on speed alone...
But as we saw today, even if you don't make mistakes, technical troubles can destroy your rally. And tomorrow there's no service either, so I'll be surprised if the top 4 will get to the end with 0 troubles.

Seb doesn't hold back.. brilliant

I think that for him the big (negative, mental) part is also the circus going on with Kalle and Ogier in Toyota.. seemingly being nr 1 driver going for WDC, but straight from the begining of the season the team doesn't care about it and no help in any wsy..(place-points wise).

No way he is going to lose a seat in WRC in couple of years..

Retweet this !! After he was beaten to Seb in 2 years in a row (which I really admire Evans for putting up a fight against Ogier) and Seb decided to participate the championship as a part time driver and some people (including me) thought that "Right, Elfyn it's your turn now!". However the "new" Ogier arrived and destroyed our (at least my) thought (Elfyn literally just couldn't and still can't deal with Kalle). This is very difficult mentally since 2 of your teammates are literally in the class of their own and just simply better than you. That's tough!!

Seb doesn't hold back.. brilliant

Damn!! Seb basically said grow a pair of balls and get on with it. To be fair, I have not heard other champs like Ott and Kalle complain about opening the road not to mention ogier (Ogier did this for 2 days back in the days when regs were not the same)

[EstWRC]

lol serious shots fired but I have to say there is some truth in it but not entirely

[flat_right]

Just some mental games from Seb but imho a bit silly...
