While it's somewhat unfair to compare a Mitsu driver against a Xsara driver it still illustrates the point.Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

I do very much think that Duval and Mikko could decide this championship.
If he can get in front of Gronholm in each tarmac rally which is perfectly possible and Loeb wins each rally than Loeb will take at least 4 points more than Gronholm. Considering there are 3 more tarmac rallies left that's 12 points that Loeb potentially has in his pocket and Gronholm only has an 8 point lead. But on the other hand the same could happen on the gravel rallies with Mikko but I wouldn't bet on it because the performance difference between the C4 and Focus on gravel isn't as big as the one on tarmacRule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

There are in Corse (ask Mäkinen) but Duval could drive a Suzuki.
And don't know about Ireland (perhaps more sheep than cows).
Seriously, Sordo will be more of a danger for Marcus than Duval and don't think Loeb have to worry about Hirvonen on gravel yet.

What Citroen must hope for - for at least one tarmac rally - is that both Sordo and Duval will get in front of Gronholm.
The gravel events can go to both Loeb and Gronholm, but I doubt that Mikko will be able to take points from Loeb in those events.
And then, of course there is the question of possible DNF's. Gronholm hasn't had a single DNF this year, and as it looks now he will most likely have to avoid that to win the title. On the other hand, if Loeb gets a DNF it's game over for him.
It for sure is a thriller season.Supporting Ogier in the WRC & Ferrari in F1 & Ducati in MotoGP.
