Simply. I have been in service park during shakedown time.
So after two-days long test with hundreds of kilometers just two days before You think they shall change things based on 10 km on shakedown?
Nice video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJPIjeru7-E
Check 1:36, that's not good at all.
If I'm not mistaken all top drivers except Kopecký were on Pirelli. Last year nearly nobody...
Very spectacular onboard of Pech (from a very spectacular stage): http://www.mediasport.cz/rally/onboardy/7671.html
Pity of bad audio. You can also clearly see what is being discussed quite often - Pech driving intentionally over some anti-cutting obstacles. I personally find it unfair both against the competitors and organizers.
Great video!

I think that Pech's main advantage is the work of his spies who check every ditch, every corner by walking and he knows perfectly what he can run though or over without risk. In my opinion it went too far in this moment as he often ignores anti-cutting obstacles which others respect. Regarding cars it's still as I said after Šumava - Pech's Mini has better suspension/setup while Fabia R5 clearly has more power. Just heck the onboards and You must notice how different the two cars are.
