Edit: By faster times i mean 1-2-3 place stage times, i think realisticly if he is close to 3rd and 4th place by the end of tomorrow then all is good
Edit again: but i hope Tänak proves me wrong.
Also Monte is not Tänak's strongest event. We have to wait until next events to see how it works out.

My favourite for the win is Kalle because winning Monte is something that is missing from his "bucket list" and last year he was impressive on Saturday and Sunday. But of course Ogier and Neuville will be super fast here. I don't believe Evans will have more pace than last year generally.
