Bernardo Sousa had said in an interview on Portuguese television that he wanted to be on the Rallye Monte Carlo. After all, I'm almost certainly that he did not send registration. I do not believe it had been refused.

Sure. There are many drivers less talented than Sousa in entry listQuote:

So no Kimi also no Battle between the F1 guys :( and Basso could be indeed a Fiesta hoping he get a Ford program like Mikkelsen had though he had got nice money from Hankook also
Bouffier, Loix,... = the second wave only, in a clear distance; Petter, because of the car, only between this group and the other top northern European (Skoda and Ford) drivers. This is my prediction, we will see...Quote:

I don't think the gap between the Skoda and Peugeot is as big on asphalt as it is on gravel. The Peugeot should still be quite competitive on Monte.Quote:

Not sure about Mikkelsen, he has not done Monte before I think.Quote:

Gardemeister could go well if the conditons are tricky too; he has several Monte podiums and now he is in a better car after two Montes in a Punto. I would really like to see Toni do well.
It would be great if we had really mixed conditions on the rally; if we have some dry asphalt too then drivers like Loix, Basso, Kopecky and Vouilloz could come to the fore.
Why no Cetinkaya on entrylist ??? Has she been refused or hasn't sent her entryform :confused:
