Rain in Acropolis is almost impossible, but let's see. Anyways he is strong here. Forecast for Finland doesn't look so bad for him also.

I mean Neuville is not going to fight Evans or Tanäk in Finland, but he was quit decent last year, so he could score decent points there.

Didn't it rain back in 2021 when it came back to the championship?

Heavy rain lead to cancelling shakedown last year.

Tanak could became championship leader in Finland and clean roads in Greece. Championship battle should be tight to the end imo.

Thierry is still leading the championship and is also the favorite still at the moment.

Out of the 3 contenders, he is the favorite to win the last two events, he is the best on tarmac out of them. Evans and Tänak should at least have 20 points margin before the last two rallies IMO. Especially Tänak who is always struggling with the Hyundai on tarmac and so far hasn’t had an answer to Thierry.

I think if we’d have a different end of year rallies (After Chile) say CER-Australia-Ireland-Wales, it would’ve made things a bit more interesting.

Yeah. I think the same. From top of my head there has not been a single tarmac event where Tänak has been faster than Neuville in i20. I think that Ypres win in 2022 was also after Neuville crashed from the lead. So in essence he would need a solid margin before those two last events...lets see.
