Gryazin became a lot more reliable the last year or two. He maybe lost a bit of his raw speed but not too much.
Pretty sure Cais will be with Skoda as he was testing with Meeke in Portugal last week. If this factory team return is true though they will need a lead driver if Mikkelsen is returning to Rally1.. I hope it’s Solberg, he was the guy who showed the speed potential of the new car most consistently last season.

I think that the only option for Skoda to compete with Toyota is to have manufacturer team with Solberg and Greensmith, or Cais.

The new Yaris rally2 looks and most likely is a beast!
No wonder Skoda must take the programme to their own hands again

Big opportunity for McLaren tomorrow. They can take the constructor lead and put a dent into Verstapen lead. I heard a rumor at work that Perez is out after Mexico.
