I'm pretty sure she's friends with a Red Bull sponsored British MTB rider.....

Anyway, MTB was free to air on RBTV; and has now moved to Discovery/Eurosport from 2023.....and will likely be behind a paywall. Will be interesting to see the viewing figures.....

Jesus Christ. All this 'free' and 'hope' and 'easy'. Just how good is Norwegian TV? Tell me the last new free thing you sat and watched on TV that you'd never watched before? How often does that happen?

At least where I am TV is DEAD.

Norwegian TV is quite good actually, they send lots of good stuff, both documentaries, humor, news and Norwegian championship in Rally.
Don't have pay TV, the 1 hour max i look at TV at the evening the free stuff is plenty.

Probably different in other countries, but if NRK get an offer to send half an hour of free WRC i suppose they actually do it. Same goes in sweden at least.

Hyundai has already filled Tänak's seat but not with Suninen.

Neuville, Mikkelsen, Sordo/Suninen is my prediction.

Well Suninen probably will be the one sharing car with Sordo, since he is the one testing hyundais car in finland right now

I’m affraid will be another bad year to M-Sport. And now they can’t sell Rally2 cars like before. The car is not good enough it seems :(

Im going for Neuville and Sordo full time with Lappi and Suninen sharing the 3rd car at Hyundai

You think they will leave Lappi or Suninen home while Sordo drives Finland, Estonia, Sweden etc.

Toyota will never expect that strategy. They will take them by surprise.

Neuville/Lappi and Sordo/Suninen then! Logic never seems to go hand in hand with Hyundai

Just think the Lappi move will be down to Ogier wanting more runs in 23 and just seen the Dirtfish article now!
