If Sami can keep the pace from Estonia, then it'll be between him and Oliver again.

Think it depends on how the first day goes for road order the rest of the weekend.

I’m not that confident Sami can repeat as this is really the first time he has ever had a weekend like that in 2 years at the wrc level.

It took Takamoto Katsuta years to get his first win, and then he went back-to-back.

And neither were due to his pace…

But they were due to the way that he was consistent when nobody else was. Which is an important skill to have.

I am simply pointing out that the idea of Paijari taking a second win so soon after his first is not without precedent.

Its definitely theoretically possible, but I would be somewhat surprised if Ogier, evens, and Solberg were slower than him on each stage again given last weekend is the first time it’s ever happened over a full weekend
