Possibly also some testing was split between drivers (Kalle on softs, Elfyn on hards)? Anyway tomorrow in rain it will be softs all over.

8 rain tyres also available

Gonna be really interesting with the rain tomorrow.

Ott said him and the other back starters will be in different league compared to front starters

I haven't realized how (relatively) stretched the standings already are after 2 rounds.
Rovanpera and Neuville are supposed to have an advantage with road position, they have a chance to pull away from the others. But if Neuville DNFs or scores badly while Rovanpera is on the podium, Kalle will be miles ahead everyone else with Finland and Estonia yet to come.
