Yes Gryazin will be hard to beat.
Also, what can Kristoffersson do. He has loads of training Before RS.
Kopecky won last year Czech championship rallies and all his WRC2 starts except Catalunya.
Eerik Pietarinen won overall or his class last year in 6/11 of his starts, including Rally Estonia and Rally Finland. And in 2017 he won his class in everything he started in Finland (although all but one start were with Group N) with one technical retirement.
But still, I like Gryazin and I think he's very talented. I'm just not expecting too much yet.
Kopecký won 11 rallies in a row on WRC2, ERC and national level combined including both of his gravel starts on Sardegna and Turkey. In fact everything between Catalunya 2017 (2nd after a puncture) and Catalunya 2018 (2nd after a wrong tyre choice). He started this year on a winning mood again despite only in a show event. He won GP Ice Race in Zell am See ahead of Romain Dumas in works Polo R5. But he is also 37 today...
Gryazin is very good especially on loose but he never competed in WRC2 which still makes a difference. Also he's much less impressive on asphalt.
