Mahonen also said that the roads will be graded after recce and new gravel will be put on top.
Whatever, I'm heading off to Munich tomorrow morning to get my flight to Stockholm.
It's rally time :D

From the experiences from the first Winter rallies both in Norway and Sweden, it seems that the Pirellis struggle more with keeping the studs, but this is no scientific study, just built up on this years experiences.
If this is the case I think Pirelli may have gone a little too soft in their rubber (if combined With 8mm stud protruding and gravel/warm weather), and that is why this happens.
The softness of the rubber and the studding method (overmoulding), vs stiffer rubber and gluing will be a factor, one way or the other. This will ad another spectacle to Rally Sweden.

Do you think cancellation is a good option? So much money (millions) has been put into organizing the event, sponsors want return. If they're cancelling this year it likely means the end for Rally Sweden in WRC, so they can as well just try and see what the damage will be after the rally. The only stage I still see being cancelled at this point is Torsby 2... Anyway we'll see, tomorrow I'm flying to Sweden, hoping for some special WRC action. :)
Been a while since I've been to a rally, still 2min between WRC2 as well?
