Lappi's job was to be top 3 at least after Friday and preferably on Saturday, at minimum he should have been ahead of Evans on Saturday. Only the...

Lappi had first weak gravel (speedwise) since 2020. Mikkelsen just did first gravel since 2019 and did better than Sesks in Latvia on same type of...
