Tour De Course 2017

Pretty depressed about that if I'm honest. Dared to dream.

I just can't see how Ogier will get through the year with reliability remaining rock solid. I'd assumed at least 2 technical retirements. But let's see. For sure Meeke has already used up all of his issues, and more.

Lefebrve; imo they tried to progress his career too quickly without doing the groundwork. He went from R2 cars in ERC one year to a World Rally Car in WRC the next.. and then of course he had the accident.

Breen has less WRC experience than him and both his performance and reliability are many levels above. Right now he is fighting with Sordo on tarmac!

Lets remember where both Lefebrve and Hanninen came from. End of 2015/beg. 2016 Citroen and Toyota were looking for drivers and for various reasons these were one of the few available. Both teams were also complaining about the lack of available drivers (with proven performance). VW exit changed it around a bit.

EDIT: So yes you are right that they tried to progress too quickly. Sometimes it might work (Breen) but usually it doesn't. For example Hirvonen got written off after the fail season at Subaru, then managed to get back and fight for WDC.

What a shame about Meeke. It was shaping up to be a nice 3-way fight as well.. Hopefully Neuville will keep it together this time.

If breen finishes were he is am i correct in saying he will have scored most of citroens points whilst having done the least amount of events?

I think they will be more points than all the other two together. And driving 2016 car at Monte...

What happened to Bergkvist?

Pleased for Neuville, but he has let me heartbroken on previous Saturdays.

And Saturday isn't over yet.
