    Ouninpohja, Paijala, Myhinpaa, Harju, Ruuhimaki as power stage. In terms of less obvious choices, I like Horkka from 2015-2016.

    There is probably some reasoning behind this that I am unaware of but I am surprised Ouninpohja is used in 32km-34km version so rarely. I understand wanting to make some changes in itinerary every year but in last ten years, only 2015, 2016 and 2024 had it.

    Same with Monte Carlo this year, it had 10 different stages and while they were generally good, a lot of most classic stages are left unused for many years.

    There´s a lot of stages west of Laukka like Palsankylä and Valkola. Also I´d like Sirkkamäki (from 2010 I think) south of Konnevesi.

    Parkkola is 2003 version, but the start is from Road 607 like Surkee 2016.

    Leustu is combination of end 2/3rds of Leustu 2012 with ending of Horkka 2016, running the Palolahdentie loop from Horkka in opposite direction.

    Ouninpohja ends after Kakaristo junction.

    Saarikas is reversed, with the start on the big road before last years start and ends after the Tänak crash corner. Small changes made to start of Myhinpää.

    Harju isn't a loop anymore, but the lenght given doesn't match either the 90's or 10-20's version, so it remains to be seen.

    Ruuhimäki SD wasn't covered, but I'd assume it's the same as last year.

    When it's this stage, I think we can get over it. That's a hell of a stage to be fighting for so many points on!

    If being fastest on any stage deserves it, it's Ouninpohja !

    Yeah, I actually like the idea. Lot’s to win on two passes of that fabulous stage. Should be spectacular.
