[ERC] Tet Rally Liepāja 2022

Yeah, positively surprised by Battistolli speed also for a fast gravel event.
Without his 2x spin, it could have played podium position. Still a young driver with not that much real Rally2 experience experience (I mean except Rally shows and Historic).
For Paddon, it’s a comeback event so difficult to assess; may have hoped a bit better but it’s interesting mileage to prepare Estonia and Finland.

For Solans, he was not bad yesterday before the puncture (fighting with Llarena) but sounds a bit lost now with his bad road position. Maybe he lost the spirit as championship will be really difficult; not sure we will see him again this season now.

On Spanish side, impressed by the young Palomo in Rally4 for a fast gravel event so far. He could take confortable lead in ERC4 if no issue in the last 2 (at least 20-25 points on Mabellini and Fotia and 40 on Pellier).
Pellier’s mistake yesterday is not a big surprise: he was taking too much unnecessary risks since the beginning of the season; it’s not lost for ERC-4 Junior (should be around 5-7 points behind Palomo after this one) but he has no more right to mistake. Interesting fight to see with Palomo (is the Spaniard able to convert his gravel speed on tarmac?). Herranen not bad for first international outings but if he doesn’t win on fast gravel, sounds unlikely for me that he can target the championship.
