This article (in Finnish) states that they made changes to make the average speeds slower. It says they had a version of the route in january, but changes were applied after Rally Sweden and the high average speeds. All the stages on Saturday are now run in the opposite direction to reduce the speed. They are also considering chicanes but I'm not sure if that applies anymore with Mahonen's later statements.
However, the Power Stage is the same as last year, I think it will be very fast. But then again, there will be no further stages to cancel at that point. And Ouninpohja is always a problem by being super popular and dangerously fast.
Well, I loved the scenery and atmosphere of Canary Islands, but seeing those test videos of Portugal.. reminds me how spectacular is rally on gravel!!!!! Really, I have been on site of rallies over...
