Don't forget that he is a local. Even Kopecky didn't know stages like Cais

Sorry, but I have to disagree on this one. There's not a single road Kopecky hasn't driven yet. Some stages (Biskupice, Komarov, first section of Halenkovice, middle section of Majova) only returned this year and haven't been used since the S2000 era, when Kopecky was works driver... ;) Kopecky has driven Barum almost 20 times I think, and won it 9 times. He's "Mr. Barum" as much as Loix is "Mr. Ypres", and Loix also lives roughly 200km away from the Ypres stages by the way.

Agree.. Cais has an advantage here vs. himself-on-other-rallies but not against Kopecky. Good to see a new generation of Czech drivers coming through.

ERC just uploaded several more fantastic full stage onboards from Barum: https://m.youtube.com/user/FIAERC/videos

It's a home rally for Cais, he knows the stages, one of them leads to his old school, but it doesn't make his performance less impressive. I keep my fingers crossed for him!

Cais rolled it looks like :(

Gutted for him. What way to lose it

Such a shame to end the rally like this. Even Kopecky is visibly gutted with it.
