Protasov also has a chance. He only registered for 5 events so far, Lappi and Nasser for 6Quote:

others have no change.
Nasser, Lappi and Protasov are the onlyones who can win it in Spain, if cap behind is over 25p after that! (cap to Nasser/Lappi does not matter)
Let's see how much Kopeckż can help Lappi for bigger point difference to Nasser.
Okay cool so I assume we can expect:Quote:

Both Lappi and Tidemand confirmed they will be in Spain...but for sure there is possibility Lappi can compete out of classification (as Pluto said here above) But anyway Kopecky won“t be in Spain (which is idiotic, I know) IMHO Kopecky won“t be also in Wales.
Pre-season plans counted with Kopecky on Catalunya.
Why do you think he will not be there?Quote:

EDIT: At least it is passable which is great because Pontus has made his own WRC2 registration before Rally Sweden, so Skoda CAN use three cars all eligible to score points
If I understood well, I think it will be very very difficult for Lappi to be the WRC2 winner this year. He has 9 points gap to Nasser that means he cannot relies on himself winning his remaining round. Al Attyah will likely choose Wales as his last round, as Spain asphalt is not his favourite surface, and it will be enough a second place to be ahaed of Esapekka.
Protasov and even Ketomaa have more chances than Lappi at the moment, if one of them will win Spain then it will be enough for them to stay ahaed of Nasser in Wales.
Nice situation :)
