I am still puzzled by the starting order for PS (Breen-Hanninen-Mikkelsen-Latvala(rally2)-Evans). Double-checking in Portugal it was (Paddon (rally2) - Meeke (rally 2) - Al Quasimi - Lefebvre ... ).
Just can't find any explanation and nobody seems to care. Latvala jumped Tanak in the standings due to the powerstage win. I'd say he probably wouldn't be able to win it from first place on the road.
If his starting position was correct, then why was it different in Portugal.Last edited by mknight; 2nd July 2017 at 23:06.

Well he isn't slow by wrc2 standards. He is beaten on individual events by some drivers like for instance Kopecky and Mikkelsen but he is consistently faster than Camili who competed in the WRC. He is very consistent, Finland last year being an exception.
These things are also hard to tell because Kopecky is a tarmac specialist and a pretty good gravel driver, Mikkelsen is definitely a world class driver and the national round he did in Cz there were many national drivers with experience of the conditions and the event.
In my opinion he has at best the chance to become another Sordo. One who bags points for the team but never really does anything heroic. At worst, another back of the pack finisher at every event.
...But you never know with these kind of things. No one really expected Breen to be quick.

I always remember the old saying... to finish first, first you have to finish.
Being Finnish often seems to help too.

Didn't people also mention him speeding between stages at some point?

Wrong, Breen's win in the Academy followed by his S2000 WRC championship showed he had speed. I and many Irish and British fans could see how good he is. The 208 year gave some people the wrong impression. However if you had seen Breen live then it was always clear he was quick.
I remember some people saying the same about Paddon and Tanak 3 years ago.Kris Meeke got fired -PSG so terrified they quit!
