My comment didn't concern this rally. 22 km isn't really a marathon stage. I meant that when you arrange a stage of 40 km of more, you risk that the stage gets cancelled and then a high percentage of your stage kilometres goes away and you get closer to awarding only partial points. I've heard this directly from someone who works at a WRC event.

Rallysprint in Finland means a 3-6 km stage driven twice. I think we're still far from that
