That's really weird choice for an asphalt rally but luckily for him there isn't that much cutting and dirt in Rome.

Maybe after successive gravel rallies he simply forgot and automatically went for 15th. Or he wanted to start near his mate Lukyanuk

Mikkelsen choosing to open the road and so having no braking marks of others is also a bit odd, and when he didnt have to...

I probably doesn't matter much in the end.
First on the road might do some dust-cleaning (dunno if that's and issue here) and won't have lines.
Late starters might get dirt from cuts and have a chance to catch someone with trouble or get notional times.
If rain was forecasted it's also usually better to start early. (though Lukyanuk meant the opposite last year in Canarias).
The (only) question is when Gryazin doesn't want to start early why didn't he choose something like 5-10?
For reference Basso picked 2nd after winning qualifying last year. This year when he could pick 2nd was available but he went for the first available later number.

Lukyanuk after QS:
During the practice there were many cars at the start as a result of the racing accident. We had to stay for a while and breath deeply before the Italians restarted the special stage.
However we finished the qualifying stage at the disappointing 14th position. Now the engineer is trying to find out what is preventing the car from driving fast. Everything seems to be ok, but there’s no speed. I’m upset, but let’s see what is in store for us.
How much was Ostberg fined back in the day? and didn't fans raise the money trough crowdfunding?
