    I hope for them they are 100% sure to have a deal with him otherwise letting Mikkelsen go and don't take Ogier will let them again with Meeke going to trees and Lefebvre battling for 8th.

    Said it numerous times, Mikkelsen is not rated by Matton and Tommi as much as some on here rate Andreas. It's been obvious since VW left the sport, otherwise he would have a long term deal with Toyota or Citroen by now.

    Meeke was always going to kept on for next season despite his poor season and Breen has done a fantastic job, but Ogier has always been Citroen's main target. It's been effectively Ogier or nothing for them since VW left, which imo, is another very risky strategy from Matton (following on from the risks with the car in development and engineering). If Ogier was to shock them now and stay at Msport (been unlikely for a while now due to Ford's reluctance to come back), Citroen would be up shit creek again in terms of the driver line-up and Matton would have even more questions to answer for.


    If Ogier stays at Msport, there will be a huge push from Citroen for Loeb to do more than just a handful of events, you can bet on that

    Yeah a shame for Hayden. But right now he's only missing one rally. I think going forward Sordo has the bigger problems.

    Sordo just replied to him in Spanish. The Twitter translate isn't the best, but it appeared as Sordo had a go at Colin, that that's not the case?

    It`s not said, where Sordo will start or won`t start, only Paddon swapped for Mikkelsen this event.

    While I agree that for some reason Tommi does not rate Mikkelsen high, I think it's just about impossible that Citroen didn't sign Mikkelsen without signing Ogier already.

    The only option would be that Mikkelsen got more money from Hyundai but I don't think that's likely.

    Isn't Sordo planning to do a bit of RallyX next season? May not see much of him on WRC rounds.

    LOL Sordo just went in on Colin Clark. Again he's just rumouring and making assumptions.

    Badly google translates to this - @voiceofrally @AMikkelsenRally At the moment... Australia and GB you you are inventing! Or is it that you like to clear. A smartass tila come tomato!

    Maybe someone who speaks Spanish can properly translate. Seems pretty funny.

    From autosport article on Mikkelsen at Hyundai:

    "Hyundai has remained tight-lipped on next season, but Autosport's sources have confirmed Mikkelsen is expected to tackle a full season along with Thierry Neuville next year"
