After Kalle finished we know who the winner is. In a decent time that is.

More so when we consider that Kalle never started in Catalunya before!

In a way I like that Kalle managed to beat both 2017 and 2018 WRC2 champions on their strong events in the last two events of the season. It's sort of symbolic transition to the new generation.

Yes, I am now convinced he will do good in WRC (how good is harder to say). But I would also still say that he should do full calendar in R5 next year (maybe with 1-2 WRC rounds max) rather than going into WRC (which Joukhi will surely be pushing for).

Mikkelsen's driving looks very dangerous, but he's not good on time unfortunately...
