Somewhat crazy isn't it? Full testing days for one 41km stage that's run twice.

Maybe, but the concrete areas are very abrasive so tyre choice is critical. Also they want a closed road with some distance to see how the brakes and tyres go with some heat in them, not something that's possible in 5 kms of Veldenz vinyard. Finally (and most important) Mikko needs as much rapprochement with asphalt as possible because it seems he forgets every year
