Yes, Latvala was fighting speed wise for 2nd-5th position with Neuville, Loeb and Ogier. With Citröen and Hyunday. He was not faster than Citroen or Hyundai but fighting with them.
So from that it would be very difficult to judge that the roads specifically suited the Toyotas.
And to add, Meeke was slower than average on this rally.
So as I said, Meeke and Latvala were not that fast compared to other cars this rally.

Just like Ogier in VW days. We all know there are 3 drivers above the others; if one of them gets the better car it'll immediately gain advantage. Now that Toyota managed to get the Yaris reliable (fingers crossed) we just need Hyundai and Citroen to make their cars a little faster in order to keep the series exciting.
Congrats to Tanak/Jarveoja and Toyota; hat off for Loeb and a big applause to Chile organizers and fans. In 19 days it’ll be our turn to enjoy this epic sport!Rally addict since 1982

I find the series to revolve more and more around the top three guys, but maybe I just remember too well the 2017 season when everything was new and it was very even with numerous winners. After Wales 2017 only Loeb and Latvala have managed to win outside the top trio, both once, and this year in every rally two of the trio have been on the podium.

Well, you have to remember those unfrotunate incidents like Evans having a puncture on the final stage, Suninen and Paddon crashing, even Mikkelsen was going for it in Turkey before his car broke...first ones that spring to mind, could be some more.

It's OK, it's a short stage! Remember the FIA and promoter reserve the right to completely fuck over everything we all know, enjoy and understand about this series and sport. Or, maybe they might...
