    No Rovanpera also confirmed.

    Wonder if there is an element of not "benching" Katsuta from manu team on a Japanese rally.

    He did well in CER and also did quite well last two times in Japan. But still he is no Rovanpera.

    Losing both titles to a Korean manu on home soil would be extremely bad optics in that country.

    I didn't watch Japan last year, but I'm currently watching the replays.

    The commentators keep talking about how it's not Rovanpera's kind of road.

    Katsuta looks very handy when he's not crashing.

    Tanak also looks good in the M-Sport.

    The wet weather was a real spectacle on day one. And I really like these stages, it might be my favourite rally of 2023 given that Monte was a bit tame. Looking forward to 2024.
