Ah ok. Yes I meant that group. My swedish is so bad, that I really need to concentrate to understand it. Here I did not have time so I just browsed the photos. Which looked cool to be honest.
This is why.

What happens when the frozen roads start defrost is that the top layer becomes very saturated with water so the road becomes very very soft, almost like a floating surface.
see this picture below (source). Now imagine 20-30 rally cars + other official vehicles to drive on a road like this. How many cars would be able to pass before they would get stuck?
Then next question would be how you would remove the cars being stuck (as you cannot drive a heavy vehicle on the road)?

Well, while waiting before booking my preferred hotel was completely booked. So I will need to pass this year anyways hah. Either way, I really hope that there will be a rally. I would love to watch it even on tv and that would give hope for there being a rally sweden in 2021.
I think people forget these stages/tracks are actually public roads used by locals. They cant be destroyed.
Similar looking tracks on Rally GB are only used by the Forestry Commission vehicles (for logging etc).
