20 ascending hairpins and then a fast wide descend.

Power stage is also different and tricky, a narrow countryside road

dont remember other crews to have punctures,or at least more punctures than in previous years.

I also don't see anything special but on the other hand we have seen in the past that Ogier likes to make noise about some things he does't like...

Interesting to see if they'll be advantage Toyota or advantage Hyundai

If you can recall Tänak had many punctures while at Toyota. They needed to change rims and suspension to get reliability but still punctures occurred. I suspect this is very car or setup specific.

I agree something looked a bit strange, when I watched the onboard it almost looked like something broke. The inputs didn’t seem to match what was happening.

Yes, but the road is actually very flowing. However, it'll probably get very slippery in the morning.

Both stages will be packed with spectators, that's for sure. I hope there won't be any delayes because fo that.
