Quick thoughts:

+ I didn't believe they could get Humalamäki back! It will be a fast stage.
+ Also great to have Arvaja, it will be a great technical stage, Ogier tested on it last year and Hyundai in 2015-2016
+ Double loops on Friday ensure good spectator experience
+ Double Oittila on Sunday ensures it's not just a Sunday drive, it's a demanding stage.

- Sad to have only Laajavuori and Humalamäki as "classics" for the anniversary year
- No single-run stages
- Laukaa, Ruuhimäki, Pihlajakoski, Päijälä and Kakaristo are exactly like last year. Ässämäki and Vesala shakedown are reversed.
- Sahloinen-Moksi is essentially Surkee from 2010 just extended a bit from the start, this direction was last used in 2011 so new for many drivers.
- Laajavuori is questionable as a power stage. It's also run as a double loop to make it 8 km long. Good for spectators though.
