There might be some minor delays due to an off at Round 1.

Rådström's problems were a broken gear shift, should be ok for the final.

On this Swedish event the stages aren't repeated not even a single time? How do they manage to recce eight stages?
Here in Brazil we have a limit of 5 different stages, that can be run a maximum of 3 times, because with more than 5 stages to recce the grews wouldn't have time to do it.

The stages themselves are usually not that long and are fairly closely situated.
There is 8 stages and the total stage distance is 119km. The participants have 4 hour recce on Thursday and
another 6 hours recce on Friday. All stages are "recce'ed" twice. So that is 8 hours for to recce 7 stages twice.
