I admire Robert so much !! He is truly infected by a ''rally virus''. Every opportunity he gets, every free weekend, he goes to Italy and drives....respect !!

Nothing against Robert but I somehow can't see Ronde events as a real rallies. So something in myself rejects calling it an overall rally victory.

Sad news for CIR 2014: Umberto Scandola leaves Skoda Italy(the team stops in CIR)

To some point is Škoda's ''goodbye'' (if it is true!!) from CIR totally understandable, as they will have no chance whatsoever against Andreucci and Perico in 208 R5, there are also strong rumors of four DS3 R5 already oredered in Italy (two for D-Max, two for Munaretto)....to insist with N/A Fabia against Andreucci in R5 is waste of money & time...

If I am correct, leaving of Skoda from Umberto was confirmed before Christmas.
