Sergio had his first contact with both the Swedish Rally and his new EVO VII at today's shakedown held at Radå, just 5 kms away from Hagfors where the Service Area of the Rally is located.

The test has been completed under temperatures higher than expected for this time of the year in this area which is sparking fears about the amount of snow on the special stages.

The snow is melting in some areas showing patches of gravel as well as the ever dangerous ice. All of this makes the tyre choice even more tricky than usual, adding to the difficulties the teams will face during such a complex event as the Swedish Rally.
