Third: Do you think Pontus somehow canceled his registration from winter? He has registered himself into WRC2 before Swedish rally. Is it possible to cancel it after one round and get your money back? ...I am confused why there are 3 "SKODA Motorsport (I and II)" cars if they can register Pontus as privateer. (You know what I mean) and Skoda can pay the start directly to Pontus.
All those guys must be registered for WRC2 as otherwise they would be in the bottom half of the entry list. I highly doubt Tidemand would be able to cancel after Sweden. If he'd done that he'd only have six scoring rounds not the ideal seven. It wouldn't make sense to do that? Maybe it is just to reward Kopecky and also to perhaps try to do some team orders?

Or maybe they want WRC 2 decided for Lappi either way before Wales so they can put him in a fourth Polo
