You can say that again! I caught the highlights a couple of days ago and almost got cramp watching the Friday action! I was that tense without realising it. Those stages looked incredibly tough. What rotten luck for Evans (again!), EPL and likewise Neuville (even if some was self-inflicted); you can't fault his tenacity to keep getting back up. Many would have given up the ghost
As for Kalle, wow! I think Latvala summed it up best when he said 'he is a miracle' or words to that effect. Just faultless in such tricky conditions. Incredible feel for the conditions and such maturity. He will need the points lead though, the next several rallies are all on the loose stuff. Being first on the road is going to be really tough. The gravel rallies might be Evans' last chance saloon if he's to mount a credible challenge this season.
