I voted him in my pickems :D his shakedown pace isn't promising, whether the stage is representative or not, but he's always done badly on rallies where he wins shakedown and he's been strong here historically. His pace in the last two rallies was quite good as well.

As usual, anything goes with him, but he's in a good position indeed.

Could be wrong but I'm pretty sure, shakedown gives you the allocation but they can then be used at anytime, shakedown or event. If you don't scuff them up too bad you then have more tyres for the event.

Moooorning guys, 15 minutes until action starts
