- Otepää shortened

Distance is similiar to Rua 2010 and Alalkula 2015. 2010 Rua route had no Truuta Fan Zone.

Any guesses if Raanitsa and Kanepi will have the same or opposite direction in comparison to 2022?

Raanitsa and Kanepi have exact same length as last year so I assume same direction.

Otepää could be just last year's ending cut off to suit better going back directly to Mäeküla start? Finish here?

Friday schedule is shit again. Massive amount of driving needed to see more than 2 stages. And you can only see imited amount of cars first pass if you want to do 2,4,6,8.

Karaski is probably reversed and modified Saverna stage from 2019.

Yup, so stupid like last year. Friday should be 2x2 stage structure not saturday. Or they should have planned another stage or two in the north that the whole day would be there.

It looks to be longer so more junctions/smaller roads possibly.

Kambja beginning is likely new, the itinerary says start TC is at Valgjärve, whereas previously it was at Maaritsa. This would mean towards the old shakedown, also being probably connected with adding a new shakedown.
