With regards to Suninen, he has been much more impressive in WRC than he ever was in WRC2. I think his style doesn't suit the slower, cleaner R5 cars.

Also Suninen hasn't tested the new R5 Fiesta at all or been in the old R5 Fiesta in a long time
Suninen was also a lot more impressive in WRC2 when he drove a Skoda.

It's all good explanations. But as a sales promotion this event is just not working for MSport. Getting beaten by Polo and "old" Fabias.

Yes, presumably they brought Suninen here instead of Greensmith or Camilli in order to give the car a strong debut.

We already see the contours of the future. Kalle Rovanpera, Nicolay Gryazin and Oliver Solberg and there will probably be one from France and Storbitania as I know them and hopefully someone from the Baltic countries where the rally stands so high.

I dunno about Gryazin tbh. He has his "Russian driver" moments...like Lukyanuk and Novikov before that. What I mean by that is moments like he had in first stage, going so much over the limit at a given place that you wonder if he missed a note. (Novikov often just ignored the notes, like here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCmc7SRvo38 )

For me O.Solberg is the most impressive youngster in a long while, whether he will win championships only time will tell, but this kid has got the minerals...Rovanpera is also very good. I’ve said it before, I can’t wait for these two (And hopefully a few others) to graduate to WRC as I’m sure it will be exciting for us watching.

Would it be better for Neuville (and Evans, I guess) to open the road on dry surface or with some mud? Normally in a gravel rally, the first on the road would hope for some rain to lower the sweeping...
