After SS5

Good fight in the top, and in the R2's/Rally4's!

As expected.
Snow is worst surface both for Fiesta and for Greensmith.

I think he did what he should.

New stages for GG and where all the Norwegian guys done them several (hundreds?) times, so not comparable.

Yes he shut down the critics and showed everyone exactly why he is a fulltime WRC driver.... (copy+paste from Dirtfish after Monte)

Trolling aside Gryazin started in Norway in similar situation a few years back...and won. (In a Fabia though)

I don't think the Fiesta Rally2 helped him, to be ironic, but the level in Norwegian rally is extremely high this season, i actually don't think any WRC driver would have an easy drive on this one.

Since Veiby was clear winner next week in WRC Sweden we will find out how "extremely high level" it is

GG did loose nearly 2min (with Factory Rally2, he was driving "Kristenssons JWRC prize car), miracles must happen if he is competitive in WRC Sweden.

I think Mikkelsen in a Skoda is above Veiby, but a Norwegian going to win there

But, how competative is the polo now? Any upgrades last years?

Brynhildsen has a older Fabia, and beats Aasen in a Rally2 Fabia.

At these traditional national rallies with classic stages, it is hard to beat the locals anyway.

But at snow, Veiby should be inside the top 4 in Sweden .

I was plesantly surprised with Greensmith. He was first on the road, in a car very few get to work on snow, and on stages he did not know.
I thought he would be further behind.

No one knows much on how quick the rally1 cars are on snow, if the Puma will have an edge on that surface as well.
Exiting times with new cars!

Plus, we don't know how hard he was pushing. He didn't need to win but he did need to get experience so had to finish. To be near the pace of the local experts was probably what he needed as part of his learning curve. We'll see how much he learned in Sweden.

Your understanding of what is going to happen in the future is pretty incredible.
But I'm afraid your prediction was meant somewhat differently.
