    Seems that Evans understood that consistency alone isn't going to cut it, he needs this kind of speed as well. Let's see if this year he'll make it against Ogier and Solberg.
    The pace on gravel will be there for Hyundai, the question lies on reliability.

    Is Ogier starting in Kenya?

    To fight for the title, pace doesn't just need to be there, it needs to be great, possibly better than Toyota. Otherwise no way to counterbalance Toyota's great reliability and Hyundai's bad performances on asphalt & snow.
    Ogier is in the entry list, yes.

    Evans is always mentaly destroyed by Ogier, and I mean every single time. And here when he wasn't around he was just wonderful. He should drive like this all the time and he could snatch the title easily last year.

    Not so sure Elfyn was destroyed by Ogier in MC last month.

    Sesks has it. He just need more driving. To me he is an unpolished diamond.
    Solberg was lucky, but his reactions when going off is way better than almost every driver. And lucky. He would´ve been on podium if not for the off on Friday. But should be happy he got 17 points.
    Evans looked good already at Arctic rally, so he was my man on Pickems.

    Now they have to be in place at 05-19 at for example Vännäs, and get back on the day after to see that they dont missed something.

    And as I said, safety was a huge deciding factor.
    Hard to manage only daylight running that north this time of the year.

    But hard to understand why running is like that, instead of running same stages closer together. Like 2+2 and then service
