Despite this year Kopecký is not so fast like in previous years and he is using different tyre brand, it will not be easy for other drivers to beat him. If there should be Lukyanuk, Gryazin, Mikkelsen or Bonato, it should be little bit different. But this year? We will see, maybe somebody will surprise.
Even if his confidence is not at his best, Cais should worry Kopecky normally considering what happened last year.
But from the non-Czech drivers, yeah, sound impossible considering the entries.
In ERC-4 Junior, interesting to see Herranen, probably preparing for an international campaign next year (he was talking about J-WRC such as Max McRae) even if he will probably suffer as in Roma.
And I think Roma was his first ever tarmac rally. And only the second time he drove on tarmac, considering the test he did in Italy in preparation for the event.
Cais hopes for rain. He says that on dry tarmac it will be very hard to catch Kopecky:

My weather app shows warm and dry for Zlin during the rally. The Pirelli's of Kopecky should be fine.
I guess Llarena could also challenge him but he wont take the risks with the Ch'ship in mind.
I think Czech guys are more likely to challenge Kopecky, maybe Wagner for an outside bet.
I wouldn't count on Wagner. He has never achieved anything in Barum Rally and his results this year are far from impressive...

And I think I have forgotten to mention that for me the biggest favourite is of course Jan Kopecky, but a black horse for me is Filip Mareš, I think the driver with currently best form.
Κοpecky faster at qualy
Good to see 4 drivers within 1 second, maybe we will have some fight in this rally:

Very interesting time for Mabellini in shakedown; looking at what he did there in 2021 in Clio Trophy with a big domination even against Soria, I was hoping he could match Pellier to see a very good fight; shakedown sounds to confirm he can. But let’s see on track now.
Interesting to see Kopecky, Wagner, Cais and Mares in close times; could be a great fight.
ERC-4 Junior sounds unlikely except if Pellier or his car messes up; but normally, the French has the experience to handle that kind of situation. Never say never but wouldn’t bet against Pellier in this one.
ERC-4 sounds a bit more realistic as Palomo is not that great on tarmac. But he will need a win here (with probably Palomo no better than 4th) to have a real possibility in Catalunya so probably some help needed from Dapra.
However, ERC-4 is just a trophy as far as I know; there is no prize drive with it so not sure it could help a lot for backing?

A rare view in modern rallies - Audi A1 Rally2-Kit:

Almost over in Clio Trophy, Soria needs to finish 6th (on 7 entries) and a guy already lost more than 3 minutes. Hope Soria can make it to the end because he is pretty fast but sometimes messy
Splits from Mabellini a bit strange but good time at the end apparently; let’s see what strategy Pellier will take because Mabellini sounds red hot, he should probably avoid making to make the same mistake than in Liepaja trying to match with a red-hot driver whereas he can clinch 2nd.
Also Dapra has a lot improved since he is in the Clio.
Not a surprise but quite an interesting time from Zeiringer; maybe he is tested by Opel to see if he can be the front driver next year?
Highlights from the qualifying stage:

Well, stage 1 top 6 (including non-ERC driver)
5 Czech + 1 Austrian having regularly driven in Czechia ... at least it is clear :D
Two Rally2 Skodas faster than Pech's Ford Focus WRC.
I can't seem to find Alllive app for ERC for Samsung TV (Tizen)?
Llarena crashed, Torn crashed and Kristenson crashed too?
