I think he's got the skills and this year in WRC2 he has shown that he's capable of winning. I mean, even though the competition hasn't been that tough, but you still need to keep your head together all the way to the final stages even though you lead by minutes (just ask Mikkelsen). Tidemand would need a new team or someone retiring to get a WRC seat, especially now that people talk about Loeb returning and Mikkelsen is also floating around and Suninen has proved himself capable.
