Kopecky doesn't quite have the 'bite' of Mikkelsen, Hanninen or Neuville but he is a decent rally driver. It's not like he is running rallies minutes off the pace and lucking into podiums and wins.Quote:

The car is still fast enough; I don't think this retirement has anything to do with the age of the car.Quote:

Kopecky is a works driver,and a championship contenter.We HAVE to compare against Neuville,Hanninen,Mikkelsen.Neuville is not the only exception.Look at Mikkelsens pace at asphalt where he is not familiar.Look at Juhos pace at asphalt.I don t mention Tanaks pace in asphalt cause in wrc.Quote:

Kopecký virtually achieved his maximum already few years a go and since then he only keeps on same level. He isn't bad but he can't get better. The other mentioned guys still have a space for improvement and that makes them better although more accident prone.
Juho will restart tomorrow.
