    We should look separately at overall experience (which is of course valuable), and experience during last year. He is not talented like Loeb or Ogier.

    Mikkelsen looks like a paydriver so far this season.
    Has Munster done fewer km's on tarmac than Mikkelsen in R1?

    He says that the car feels very nervous, making handling quite challenging. Additionally, the road conditions are getting worse car by car, further complicating matters for the car. In a high-speed tarmac rally characterized by lots of elevation changes, the time loss is very easy to come.

    I see also Mikkelsen with many corrections, the car seems twitchy...

    Ogier comes after Tänak and is 3rd.

    So far, Neuville has achieved a really valuable "road-position trophy" for his good start of the season.

    No, i was wrong.

    They have both done monte and now croatia, but mikkelsen has also done the Rally Regione Piemonte (rally di alba) last week.
    But i forgot that munster has done the central european rally last year, so he has a bit more km's on tarmac, although some longer time ago.

    This will be a penalty later on.

    This is Neuville year; just note those small things that turns to his way, even weather. I hope TN has what it takes to beat Evans for the title ( Tanak so far has not performed as someone who actually has a shot on the title; no signs of any fight either; i hope i am wrong about him, though).

    First rallies have been dissapointing for Tänak yes, but i wouldnt say he doesnt have a shot at the title just yet, He never has been as strong on tarmac as Neuville or Evans, and the gravel rallies where he has a starting position advantage are just coming
