    Kalle again nails it:

    "Our tyre package is quite OK. Still the last one is going to be tricky as it always full ice and there you need good tyre, so let's see who has the best ones for it"

    What he nailed ?

    I doubt he will win like 20 seconds with the last stage. 10 yes, maybe.

    Last year Evans was slowest rally1 on Friday nights Umea stage and lost 5 seconds to the winner.

    Neuville pushed a lot on that long stage and still had tires in the end

    Tanak and Neuville much better after the lunch, Fourmaux kinda faded

    So Taka and Neuville who pushed a lot on the longest stage still had tires in the end and were the fastest after lunch

    Learning for all of them

    Well. That was quite impressive, Elfyn.

    Top 5 in 9,1 seconds!
    What can we expect from conditions tomorrow? More likely to be an advantage for the front runners or for the late runners?

    No, I meant just he gave a clear summary of the tyre strategy playing out.

    It was actually nip and tuck for the top guys this afternoon, up and down stage by stage, with maybe Neuville and Katsuta making the best gains.

    But it didn’t work out at all for him

    I am really not sure. Before the race we expected early cars to have the advantage from Saturday onwards. But we also expected that for the last of the three stages on the Friday loop it's not really what I saw.
