Kaj Lindström called him “the smartest guy in this rally” – and who are we to disagree with Toyota’s sporting director?
Yet again, Kalle Rovanperä showed his class and proved why he’s the obvious bet for the 2023 World Rally Championship with a brilliantly judged victory on Acropolis Rally Greece.
As others fell by the wayside, Rovanperä was there to pick up the pieces – and he topped it all off with the perfect five points on the powerstage too.
What does Rovanperä’s latest victory – which moves him level with Stig Blomqvist and Timo Salonen on the all time winners’ list on 11 – tell us about where Rovanperä is at right now? Can Elfyn Evans respond in the title race, or is it all over? And was there something different about Thierry Neuville last weekend?
Join Colin Clark and David Evans on this week’s SPIN, The Rally Pod as they dissect all the major talking points from Acropolis Rally Greece.
