    I didn't expect Kalle to get any podiums this year. I would have been happy with good stage times and top 5 finishes. This was above my expectations, but I don't expect him to continue getting more podiums. Especially the technical gravel rallies will be difficult for him, and most likely tarmac rallies as well. Based on this result we could expect him do well in Finland and maybe Wales also. But like someone said already, this was a short rally, and it's mentally more demanding to keep a good position for 300 km versus 150 km.

    And yeah, let's just let FIA award the titles at the end of the year to the driver with the most points

    Everything you say is true, but I have a funny feeling we may see a few more surprises from him this season, especially on those rallies you mention. That said I’m sure there will be some character building events as well for him to endure..

    I really wonder how he does on the overseas and new rallies. Cause that's where both Lappi and Suninen have struggled the most and mostly still struggle.

    If not hyping Kalle, who then deserves being hyped?

    Some of you guys can´t stand performances well over expected.

    Having said that, we can surely expect ups and downs in the future for him. Let´s wait and see.

    Hyping in a positive way is never bad.

    I think he'll do well in Argentina and might even be a candidate for the win. He pretty much dominated in 2018 until he had his massive accident on El Condor

    Definition of "hype" is promotion consisting of exaggerated claims. = saying something is better than it actually is.
    In other words "positive" lies. Therefore hyping in "negative" way is technically impossible.

    I my view lying is never good, but opinions differ on that.
    Praise is not the same as hype. Whether what some commentators do is hype or praise is another discussion.

    So in this case it´s about words then.

    Can we agree Kalle did more than expected both in RMC and RS? And his future looks bright?

    Yes, but we still need to wait longer to see his true potential.
