No Mikkelsen

Maybe because it seems Edmondson will probably doing the notes of Oliver.. Gryazin with Polo not sure, it could be with Fabia..

No Mikkelsen

That he is not starting in WRC2 is not a big surprise. As it's much "safer" to do Monza (where he was great last year) knowing exactly how many points he needs. Will make ERC title a bit more difficult without Canarias.
There was some hope he would start in Fiesta WRC (see f.e. Dirtfish interview with Millener around Ypres time). But then again that would only mean comparison with Forumaux and Greensmith.

In way it's also a bit surprising that Østberg kept Catalunya even when Monza replaced Japan. As a driver surely Monza would fit him better. But Catalunya might suit C3 much more.

Gryazin back to Polo even though tarmac is probably strongest surface for Fiesta Rally2 maybe reflects his Acropolis experience.
Edit: Actually it's weird that he seems entered as WRC2, cause I also see him entered in Finland as WRC2 "scoring", that would be his 8th entry which shouldn't be possible.

Note that Bulacia is not entered as points scorer.

Camilli in WRC2 can also fight in the top.

Main news from this morning. No Service Park access. No Loubet.

Route preview. New version of Querol is interesting with concrete and broken tarmac sections. Also I love the flow of Riba-Roja.

Going through the entry list and got curious. Can someone confirm that driver #59 Juan Antonio Castillo is same person who co-drove for Dani Sordo (whose other surname is also Castillo) in his WRC debut 2003?

In addition to RC1, some interesting fights to see in the other categories.
Ostberg/Suninen/Huttunen in WRC2 who may still contend for the title in Monza if they win (even if Mikkelsen will be favorite) with Camilli (and Cais less probably) that could cause them some troubles.
In WRC3, Kajto needs the win to take the lead before his close fight with Rossel in Monza. Not that simple with Pepe Lopez, the young Solans, Ingram and even Lindholm on the entry list.
And the JWRC last round (strange pick to put 3 tarmac rallies out of 5) with Pajari/Armstrong/Sesks. Will be complicated for Pajari as Armstrong wins the first two tarmac rallies.

Camilli was only 20 seconds behind Ostberg in 2019, and it was his first rally with the C3 R5… he is much more comfortable with the car now, IMHO he will fight for the victory.
