Looks like Mikkelsen & Loeb have hard tyres, at least they said something like that.

They all will start with 4 studded and 2 slicks! All? No! Neuville will start with 4 slicks and 2 studded...
where did you get the tyre choice ?
Possibility of ice patches?Quote:

In Finnish preview made after shakedown Latvala seemed quite sure about 4 studs for SS1 and 2 studs + 2 slicks for SS2.
#Tyre Info SS1 & SS2
Toyota/Citroën/Msport: 4 MICHELIN Pilot Alpin Studded + 2 MICHELIN Pilot Sport Super Soft (SS6)
Neuville: 2 MICHELIN Pilot Alpin studded + 4SS6
Loeb/Mikkselen: 4 MICHELIN Pilot Alpin studded + 1 MICHELIN Pilot Alpin
This Loeb/Mikkelsen choice: the spare tyres is studded or non-studded?Quote:

Are studded tyres back? MC isn't a winter rally (officially).
I don't see fresh snow here. What kind of surprise are they talking about?Quote:

What do You mean by "back"? Studded tyres have been always allowed in Monte.Quote:

OK happy season everyone...
be cool and think before you post... don't make me punish you kids.
Sorry about that, may your aspirations to mediocrity be successful.Quote:

Seeing the photos and hearing Latvala's words I can understand the choice by Neuville.
I really like Monte... many new names pop up in here every year, but only a few survive to the end of the year, i might be too brutal some times and they run away.
Maybe they expect to use more studs, so they may run out of them. Or maybe they want lighter car, but still one studless for SS2.Quote:

Ok, lets have a fun season!
What has the dynamic been like at the team? How have you found working with Tommi Mäkinen so far? Was he a bit of a hero for you growing up?
KM:
It’s nice to finally have people who understand the game in control. The team is Finnish based and the Finns have quite a knowledge of motorsport - it’s in their blood. There’s less talking and more doing. I like the environment up until now and just want to enjoy my time

Very hard beginning of the stage. Bumpy like here in CZ...
