Evans:
I’m gutted to say I will not compete at @RallyFinland due to an injury sustained during a heavy landing at @RallyEstonia. It’s a hard one to take right now, but I have to trust the advice of the experts, and turn my focus to making a full and quick recovery.

Pieniążek to replace Gus?

At least Greensmith has recent experience in the WRC car from Portugal. Great bonus chance for him.

Shame for Elfyn, he has gone well there in the past....
Good opportunity for Gus tho...

I would like to see Anders Grøndal on the R5.

GG:
This is not the news a lot of people wanted to hear. I feel really sorry for @ElfynEvans & @scottmartinat. I wish Elfyn a speedy recovery.

Thank you @msportltd @fordperformance for putting your trust in me by giving me this opportunity in the @OfficialWRC again. #WRC #GG44 https://t.co/JsxoScc95J

Might there be someone to replace Gus..

They have a free car. If someone can pay to drive it, it’s available

I assume it’s one of the artificial jumps in Estonia which injured Evans? Solberg and Gryazin also mentioned back/neck issues

We did recce on some of the Estonia stages and I feel the organisers went berzerk with these jumps

Shame for Elfyn, as doubled1978 wrote, he has shown great speed there before.

And M-sport chose.. Gus..instead of double WRC2 champion Tidemand, as a sub for Elfyn? Really? Yes, of course GG had an ok run in Portugal, and he has good potential in the long run but come on, Portugal could be the easiest of all rallies to start with a new car and Pontus has year after year shown superb speed, talent and beat GG on home turf in Wales less than a year ago in R5-cars... there has to be something else behind this choice.
