If you listened to Miki Biasion's old co driver Tiziano Siviero on All Live who is the stage commander or something like that, they really care about making the rally a proper one and want the fans to be able to see as much as possible which can not be said for some rallies on the calendar.
When did we see a crowd like that at the end of powerstage? That's what counts not some people hanging around at the service park when they should be out spectating, nothing interesing to see apart for the end of day interviews in my opinion. Sardinia was great when i went in 2011 and It looks really good in Alghero now. You could even get direct flights to Olbia on a Saturday and Wednesday from Norway, regret like a pig i didn't go!
