Agree that Rossel is just about the only tarmac specialist around, except Italian drivers that never drive outside of Italy (Crugnola) and Loeb.

Problem is that Rossel actually got beaten on tarmac a few times by some of those "gravel" specialists you mention.

So imo he is not that much of a step up on tarmac to be worth it. Also note how Gryazin can match him on tarmac in same car, in Fabia he wasn't faster than many other Fabia drivers either.
