Cyprus Rally 2012

I would agree with VW if they have made this decision. The age difference is just too much I think, and if they want to invest in an young driver they want to be sure the crew which is forming will be for more years than 1 or 2.

Then why can't Abbring drive with Vanneste?? They are roughly the same age, but yet they were allowed to continue together... I don't know on what base they select their codrivers... I think they should let the drivers decide who they trust. You can't force a driver-codriver relation...

I joined this forum after I had been looking for news on Ola's sad interview. Lots of speculation as to the reasons, but one of my first thoughts was maybe it was health-related. I hope not...

For sure it is not because of health. Some small notices about this topic you can read (with help of translator) here: Autosport (http://www.autosport.cz/clanek.php?cl=14579)

Pluto where is Mikkelsen interview about last sentence?

[PLuto]

You mean the sentence, where he is talking "Of course I want to stay on Sebastien Ogier’s heels like at the last rallies." ?

Thanks!

No offense to Markkula, but it's too bad that "co-driver switch averted" didn't mean "Ola is staying after all." ;)
