Rali Vinho Madeira 2010

Although Skoda seem to be undecided still on going to Madeira some sources are stating, today, that Basso will be there in the Punto. This is great news for the rally because make no mistake: no matter what (older car compared to the Skodas and Peugeots, etc) Basso is an odds-on favorite for the win.

Humm I still think if they drop Madeira Meeke will score big points and they dont want that.

And with a bunch of Peugeot's on Madeira I can see their manufacters title bid getting even more difficult.

It would be fantastic to see Basso on Madeira, 7 winners from 8 events? :)

Loix will be on Madeira to protect the Skoda interest in the championship. Hanninens car is still in good condition?

There still two weeks to the rally, my guess is that they are going back to Czech Republic and they have plenty of time tobring the Evo 2 cars.

Will be better than repair because Kronos hadn't enough time to repair his if I saw just a video of Kris Meeke for Azores and saw the inside of the car was Yellow so I'm almost sure he drove this weekend with Neuville's car. So Skoda if they start in Madeira it'll probably be the Evo 2 vs Meeke's evolution car who's be fixed then :)

Skoda will be on Madeira, no doubt.

As Skoda Motorsport chief Michal Hrabánek confirms on the Skoda Motorsport website yesterday.

Rough Google translation:
Michal Hrabánek , Team Skoda Motorsport ' It turned out that competition is always evaluated only at the end. It was unlucky for us to end the rally , which for us until the last moment developed favorably . However, we must look to the future . The next rally , which is present in both crews, the Madeira Rally first weekend in August . There they try to regain lost points here for the manufacturers and riders . But that will be extremely difficult, because it will be our first start in this competition . "

I hope the Abarths will be present. Any chance?
