Good win for Hyundai in Suninen in WRC-2 after the late loss in Portugal. And Lindholm gives a good fight to them. Still think it will be complicated for them for the Open title but Lindholm has clearly taken a good option for the Junior title with Gryazin out for both titles after his shakedown mistake.
Also Pajari interesting for a second WRC RC2 outing before his mistake.
And Hyundai has taken a good option for Team title all the more than TokSportII team result are not good enough to try some tricks (if Im right, Belgium will be last European round for Toksport 1 team as they were registered in Portugal but made 0).
In WRC-3 Open, Joona has won easily but the situation is a bit more complicated to understand: the WRC regulation in French is talking about a 5-out-of-6 championship but in English, it is translated in ... 4-out-of-5.
If 4-out-of-5, it should be between Joona and Cerny (as Pajari as already made five rounds) and could be very close call if Cerny wins in Belgium (where he should considering the competition), it could be a tiebreaker in the end with Joona winning in Greece (with no Pajari, Armstrong or Virves in Open) and Cerny in Catalunya.Last edited by Danny0405; 7th August 2022 at 16:22.

I don't think either Lindholm or Suninen have a chance for open title, since they are not entered for Ypres and doubt they are going NZ/Japan. This means they will only do 6 rounds.
Anyway seems Hyundai is now competetive on all surfaces (slow/fast gravel and tarmac (see Italy)), which is good.
Regarding team championship, note the terrible season from Bulacia with 5x0.

Has Hyundai won anything in Italy? I don't think so:

Crugnola won Monza last year and Basso has similar times as in Fabia before imo.

Mikkelsen says he needs to win WRC2 in Ypres.
“For us to win the championship, I think we have to try and win in Ypres and in Greece - there’s no other choice. [Kajetan] Kajetanowicz is probably going to do Japan and New Zealand, so he could potentially have two easy wins there.
“Our retirements mean that, whatever happens, we will already have one zero score in our total tally. So my goal this week is very simple - we need to win,” he added.

And, a win in Ypres will look much better on his CV than some easy wins without competition.

It will be very difficult for Mikkelsen to past Lefebvre on clear speed here in Ypres. You can say its Lefebvre's home rally, he knows the roads well, car setup must be close to ideal and if tarmac stays dry, i dont see him lose this one. He can lose it only by his mistake or unlucky puncture. But clear speed wise he is the fastest one.
