Is that a hedge or wall?
Well, it's only small section of the stage that claims up to 1300m, so it may be a factor, but not for studed tyeres, that's for sure.
I think it was wall (I looked it yesteday)
Another camera that is around 14 km from stage at the elevation of around 1050 m. There is very little snow:

So, the differenece with elevation is big
Only Meeke and Sordo have 2 winter tyres with no studs??
Meeke has 2 winter tyres, no stud, and 4 ss tyres.
Bouffier Meeke Sordo and Evans were the only crews they had 2 snow tyres.All the others were with 5 or 6 soft slicks.
Looks like the snow is being cleared by the gravel crews/spectators etc leaving ice.
Now it is raining even on 1300 m elevation, so, that should make again things worse for the first starters and favor later starters.
Early starters get snow etc, later starters get gravel and mud. Swings and roundabouts.
Could be carnage in this stage with HUGE time differences..
