I don't either. VW is not optimized for tarmac, it's more a gravel car. It's just so powerful it has dominated tarmac events in the past years. I think the winner chances are 75% Sordo, 20% Neuville and 5% someone else.
When has Sordo ever gone into a rally with a 75% chance of winning? I think Ogier will destroy the field.

After Monte they said, dont worry Sweden will be better.
They'd moved their test base to Finland 3 years ago to sort the car on fast gravel (and snow).
And in Sweden... they were worse.
