Stages like this should be on first leg, as second or third stage. Nothing is decided at that time. Its easy on last leg, to slow down the drivers with that technologies during the stage if the gaps are minutes.
Petter at 66 km stage gain 1,43 min from Seb -Andreas.Remaining 68 km more and the gap is 1,55 min.Very difficult if no problems.
Is it so hard to Ford to calculate this senario? Why are they announce that 5th position is possible and ridicule themselves?
I really lik very log stages, but my impressin is that they may be out of date for modern internet-fans, which are most of the WRC followers nowadays.
Big differences are not what "anxious splits watching" audience is acostumed to.
as werner said if you have a 66km stage at first stage would be different.
SS15 started.
Hirvonen could still win.
Maybe he could, but he is not allowed to...

In many cases you got the results day after the finish! OK, times change but let us "older than 12" have our opinions, which are not accepted by nowadays standards. Anyway, in the beginning it was also endurance.
