Kalle took a great victory last year in difficult conditions and rain which is of course not typical in Greece.
Elfyn and Esapekka have also been very strong recently and hopefully they can continue in a similar way in Greece."
If it's going to be dry then I think it's going to be really tricky for us to open the road on Friday.
We had good speed and a good feeling on similarly rough gravel roads in Sardinia, and hopefully we can find that again in Greece."
