Gained 3 points on Neuville? made larger gains on Evans & Fourmaux though, should get that third place. At least he's got (finally) his first podium of the year.
Ogier here showing a master class, so annoying he's not doing a full championship, I'm aware he has his reasons but it seems he hasn't lost any of his competitiveness since he retire at the end of 2021.

Congratulations to Ogier for the win, great performance! For me, winner is also Neuville, he got 24 points from 1st on the road. If it rains on Sardegna, he is a real favourite for title

Only 2 points, would have been 4 if he had been faster than him on PS and Ogier wouldnt have let Neuville pass in sunday standings.
I think i agree that the biggest winner was Neuville, first from the road and to gain 24 points from here. I cant see anyone beating him for the title this year, at the moment not at least, he is just so strong.
Very good rally from Tänak, not feeling comfortable in the car at all but still managed to fight for the win, such a shame about that low puncture. He got 5 stage wins, he had 5 stage wins in total before this rally. But like he said, this wont work out at every rally.
Very good rally overall, exciting all the time. Bring on Sardinia!#8 Ott Tänak - Martin Järveoja #8

I think Ogier isn't as fast and as consistent as he was in his prime (when he was both very fast and very consistent), but he's an old fox who knows how to win a rally. If he was in the championship, then he let Tanak outscore him and Neuville only 1 point behind despite finishing 3rd, but Ogier cares for rally wins now and he did very good on that regard.
Finally a great rally for Ott in the Hyundai. Great also from Neuville, 1st on the road, especially compared to Evans. Evans was unlucky with the engine gremlins, but too slow this weekend in any case. Fourmaux keeps showing maturity.Last edited by focus206; 12th May 2024 at 13:35.

3 fast gravel rallies incoming after Sardegna, where Tanak and Evans are faster than Neuville. If Tanak keeps performing like this then I still see him in the title fight and it could be down to luck, if Neuville's Hyundai breaks down one more time than Tanak's or vice versa.
