Video from test of Kopeckũ in CZ with a lot of snow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZ635ljRLj8
The usual weird Monte stuff is in - like very slowly looking runs on wrong tyres. Also many runs with switched off or very low-level ALS.
Some story from 2010 about this strange perception of speed in Monte Conditions. We were on Col de Turini waiting for the cars to come. All the road from the start (in that time in Peira Cava) down to Turini was full snow. We drove it before start and knew the conditions well. kodas were drifting wide and spectacular obviously on studded tyres. Then came Ogier. He drove very slowly and completely clean. It looked like somebody going to supermarket and he was loosing half a minute already after seven kilometers. What was our surprise when the times from the finish started to arrive. Ogier was half a minute faster than koda guys and we thought WTF? The key was that all the long downhill from Turini to La Bolléne was dry and he took asphalt tyres.Stupid is as stupid does.

Crash of Camilli from last year's Monte could be similar case.

Today without bigger drama for Rally1, so expecting tomorrow lot of retirements maybe, because there is NEVER rally without issues. Let's see guys, favorizing Ogier for the win probably, depends on...
