Strange to see how many of you predict that Tanak or Evans will fight for the win. I'd be surprised to see any other result than Kalle easily controlling and taking the win. Of course, happy to be proven wrong, it would mean this championship is not set in stone as I think it is.

Also i think many of you are forggeting Breen, if he clicks well with the new Hyundai as he has a similar driving style with Neuville, i think he may be dangerous aswell.

Let's not forget Lappi either.

Of course Rovanperä is biggest favourite but hard to predict. Tänak and Puma on snow is a big question mark, as are Lappi and Breen with the Hyundai Rally1. And then we don't know what the conditions will exactly be, will Rovanperä lose time first on the road or not.

If the conditions stay as they are right now i dont think he will lose too much on first loop, second pass tho he will lose more i think since the R5 and smaller cars ruin the tracks for Rally1 and there will be more "cleaning"

That's what I assume as well, and the second loop is relatively short, but it's difficult to know the exact conditions. I heard already that Brattby is more packed snow than ice so not good for Kalle.
