    I assume he has become MUCH better on snow, compared to a year ago, given your guesses? Because last years Rally Sweden he wasn't even CLOSE to top 5, and this year the field is even quicker.. .

    My guess for Top 5 WRC2 Rally Sweden:
    - Veiby, Gryazin, Kristoffersson, E Lindholm, Henning Solberg

    My guess for Top 5 R5-cars overall Rally Sweden:
    - Östberg, Rovanperä, Pietarinen, Kristoffersson, Veiby

    Gryazin was way faster than Veiby on Veiby's home soil in Sigdasrally. You must be very optimistic to place Gryazin behind Veiby.

    Also Your two lines contradict each other (Kristoffersson vs. Veiby).

    Just as a side note. There was a significant difference in choise of tires at Sigdalsrally, OC used tires with 7mm protrusion (both Michelin and Pirelli) as rally Sweden test (7mm will be used there by both tire manufactorers) whereas Gryazin was on 8mm only, in the right conditions on the first loop this can easily mean 1s/k difference. On the other hand on the second loop 7mm can be an advantage (OC had 1 fastest stage time on the second loop)

    Veiby had a spin and hit a tree loosing 45 sek on one stage, so in total driving time it was around 20 sek behind Gryazin over 52min of driving, i think they will be close now that Veiby got the setup sorted

    It was a GENERAL top 5, not in order.

    Top 5 in WRC-2 pro (there are only 5 cars entered) but I guess that flew over.

    Could be a nice to start a pickems for WRC2.
    Many times it`s much harder to predict WRC2 than WRC1!

    Huh? Nope, I wrote Top 5 in WRC-2, NOT WRC-2Pro? What flew over? The whole point was that I believe Pieniazek will fall outside of top5 no matter which category or "competition" we speak of. (Except of course WRC2 Pro where there is only 5 cars yes...)

    5 cars entered in WRC2-pro, and according to EWRC-results 15+ cars in "regular" WRC-2-category and some R5-cars outside WRC-point-eligibility altogether (Brynildsen f.ex.). That was what I indicated and made a quick top5 out of...maybe that flew over?
