That's true. Now official Peugeots are behind Bouffier also in the ERC standings:
1. Kopecky 248,
2.
Bouffier 129,
3. Breen 121,
4. Delecour 75,
5. Kajetanowicz 50,
...
18. Ancian 20.
This says more about some great performances by Bouffier (especially here) than any failure by Breen...
Experience is what Bouffier has and its this that has enabled him to overtake Breen. That is also what Breen is here to gain in all these rallies that are new to him.
If there is any 'Official Peugeot' criticism, then it can only be aimed at Ancian.

Come on, on one hand You defend Breen as unexperienced newbie (which is not fully true as he did at least two seasons in WRC) and on the other You blame Ancian who is the real newbie with zero international experience. It's not fair from You at all.

I said IF criticism can be aimed at anyone - I do not criticise Ancian. He is also here to learn but has the advantage of Peugeot backing at a young age like Breen.
I just point out that Breen has beaten him easily at each event and Breen has done as well as can be expected in so many new rallies and against many more experienced drivers.

Re: 70th Rally Poland (Rajd Polski)
No wonder Bouffier was so good in this rally driving a Peugeot 207...
Wiki: 'Bouffier won three consecutive Polish Rally Championships in 2007, 2008 and 2009, driving a Peugeot 207 S2000 for Peugeot Sport Polska ...'
Meanwhile neither of the 'official' Peugeot Academy drivers had ever driven here before.. :|
And Bouffier has certainly had his fair share of Peugeot factory support in his career:
Wiki: 'In 2003 he became an official Peugeot Sport driver and spent three years competing in the French tarmac championship in a Peugeot 206 S1600. In 2006 he competed in the European Rally Championship for Peugeot Sport Espaņa... ' :crazy:
