Route seems identical to 2021 except for the addition of a new opening super special in Coimbra, Vieira do Minho shortened a few km and Montim run twice on Sunday

Loeb vs. Ogier II - the rematch in Portugal. Let's get ready to rumble!

Don’t think it will be the same story.
1. I’m not sure Loeb is still able to fight for victory everywhere.
2. Ogier will have a way better road position than Loeb (at least Tanak, Katsuta, Greensmith between them) if no rain (and if rain like in ERC in March, I don’t think Loeb can fight for the win)
3. Also do not forget that Evans and Sordo will have even better road position.

All in all, would be already really good if Loeb can fight for podium.

An announcement on Ogler's participation is likely to happen on Tuesday, not sure if tomorrow or next week.

Can’t wait for this rally to happen already. I have always been excited for the first gravel round of the year

- Loeb and Ogier back again and bringing excitement and extra competitiveness
- how will Kalle do as first on the road, will he still smash everyone
- how is the gravel form of different teams. Remember Hyundai still hasn’t tested on gravel
- what times is Ogier capable of showing when he now finally gets to start from back
- Loeb and Tänak starting 4th and 5th, so will be interesting to watch their times
- what can Sordo do from his position
- will we get some red hybrid lights after Fafe jumps

Bring it on!
