    my opinion is IF Citroen plan to be in WRC 2017 then I expect 2016 line up to be Loeb (part programme and development) Lefebrve and Lappi. No Citroen in 2017? The Meeke and Ostberg in 2016

    M-Sport miles off the pace as usual.

    Your thoughts seem to make sense. Are you sure the Citroen is out of date? I think Loeb showed us it's not, rather recently. Ok it's maybe a bit behind the VW. I agree with you

    Antony, I think you know enough to know that Loebs Monte pace was very event specific and not a true reflection of where the car is

    It seems to me the car has the potential to be good but the whole package isn't there completely. Perhaps the lead driver isn't where he should be on the psychological level, and I would say the car is maybe not as "fresh" as it could be.

    It's nice that there no Rally2 WRC drivers for tomorrow, that's definitely a positive for such a difficult rally. Let's hope for some more fun tomorrow

    Maybe you are right. The Citroën is behind the VW.

    Although I'm of course pleased I'm also quite surprised how easily Kopecký today destroyed the competition in WRC2. Winning all stages and having nearly 1,5 minute lead after day one looks near ridiculous. Also considering his last Rally Germany was 2007 (I know he was extremely fast there already back then).

    I suppose he will be in cruise mode tomorrow a la Lappi in Poland and Finland.
