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...

In case something happens with other Toyota, they still earn manu points. Also, they can earn them from the powerstage.

If Ogier is ahead of both (Neuville and Tänak), it does not matter from the drivers-title point of view. It only matters, if he is between them.

Another (potential) factor for start-order can be, that SS17 was stopped due Meeke's crash.

Need to admit there, that without super-Sunday it could be cruising Sunday. What the reality will be, we will find out tomorrow.

Tänak drives level with Fourmaux, so no big push anymore. ... or, big push but no tires :)

It would be interesting to know if Tänak cares about the win. Yes, it's a nice bonus, but it does not give any extra points.

From the championship points point of view - if he wins tomorrow, it does not matter, he just needs to be fast(est) on tomorrow's separate standing.

As expected, Tänak cooked his tires and Ogier took 4.1 from Tänak. One long + short more stage to go with those, so Tänak may lose more.

Agreed. Let's take into account that he is driving M-Sport non-factory Ford, which probably does not perform at the same level as Hyundai and Toyota.
