    A big shame that Luílhas will not used, and Fafe only have one stage :/

    But the itinerary looks ok to a great show. Lousada will be awesome.

    I will see:

    Lousada
    Ponte de Lima 1 and 2
    Amarante 1 and 2
    Fafe 1 and 2

    I always said I wouldn't be keen to go back to Portugal, but I'm sure Fafe will be an incredible spectacle. Hmmmmmmmmm.....
    If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!

    Fafe on sunday and with Power Stage will be the worst stage to follow the rally. For sure, I will have rally pass like I did on the last 2 years

    Im sorry but what a boring stage, almost no technical and twisty sections, way too fast. Santana da Serra and Almodovar way more exciting than this, regional wars aside.

    The surface is far better. Let's wait the drivers opinion "regional wars" aside

    Especially spectator-wise the stage looks uninteresting and dangerous. There are almost no places where you can have a good view without putting yourself at risk... What will organizers do for spectators? Normally put them in some spectator-areas and keep them there, like in Algarve? The problem is that this stage doesn't give organizers the opportunity to make a nice spectator-area. I was in Portugal in 2013, drove several stages (shakedown, Mu, Santana da Serra, Loulé, Silves and Almodovar completely). They were nice, especially Santana da Serra is a very difficult stages for drivers. It's a shame that both marshalls and police treated spectators like shit...

    It's your opinion. For instance, this was the Didier Auriol's favourite stage. Don't forget, those are just the firsts km and it's wrong to evaluate a stage using a video.
