He has definitely been talking down his chances. Although he isn't helped by doing it with a new co-driver. Hopefully he isn't Ostberg slow at least. But good to see him doing something about his tarmac experience, and good timing right before Corsica.
On another note, is this the first time we will see 3 Hyundai R5 cars competing in an event?
Kalle Rovanperä vs. Chewron Lim ;)
He'll do fine. Tarmac may be his weakest point, but WRC guys pace is on a higher level. Even Ostberg managed to be front of a tarmac rally, last year in Canarias.
It's tricky to compare Barum and Italian events.. It's both asphalt but hugely different. For being fast on Barum You don't need that much of proper asphalt driving techniques. You mainly need to have very well set up suspension and some balls. On the contrary on Sanremo You need to have very precise pacenotes, to keep perfect tarmac lines and to master brake usage management
