Holmes is talking of only two British drivers taking part (Meeke and Greensmith). Last time I checked Evans was British as well.

Is that so? That is surprising. I tought he was going to drive a M-sport Fiesta R5?

He's driving an R5 in WRC2 throughout the year, but for Monte, it's the R2T.

Hello Bluuford, do you have any predictions for the weather next week in Monte? I trust your forecasts better than any other.

Hello Bluuford, do you have any predictions for the weather next week in Monte? I trust your forecasts better than any other.

Can tell you only in very general (not to reveal any secrets ).

Looks like heavy snofall in almost all elevations over the weekend, totalling 40 cm of fresh snow in higher sections. So, try to avoid Saturday for recceing stages. Precipitation ends with some rain everywhere on Sunday and some rain on Monday as well.

Then comes very warm period that basically should melt most of the snow from all the roads but snow should stay on the side of the road in higher stages.

SD likely nice and warm,

Thursday night close to zero, especially Sisteron,

Overnight rain on Friday stages and during morning loop, likely rain, very little chanche of snow (snow only on Saturday stages).

Saturday is likely nice weather and stage 9-10 might have some snow from overnight and previous day

Sunday, if everything stays the same, then no minus degrees for Col de Turini stages. But still very far to call.

Likelyhood of warmer weather is higher than likelyhood of colder weather.

PS! If you are used to cooler weather and +10 is Ok for you then you might need shorts for SD :P

PS2! You should find me from SP during rally and in the region from Sunday evening
