Again remember Germany?
He haven t got to push hard.He is already 1st.He needs to control the pace and not to push for making a big gap.

But for sure not my opinion. Points are only a little part of making a champion. The highest level of motorsport now and then has to suffer from a poor champion. In F1 it has been Mike Hawthorn in 1958, Mario Andretti in 1978, Keke Rosberg 1982 and Jacques Villeneuve in 1997. In MotoGP it was Nicky Hayden in 2006 and Keny Roberts Jr in 2000. What they have in common are that lucky one year and in the rest of their career, they were always beaten.

There is no need to see after stage 7.
stage 6 was the same as stage 2. Sordo and Petter were faster at second pass than in 1st pass.So road condition no bad.
Ogier while he had won at stage 2,when pepeated he was slower by 4,1 sec.
Petter was faster at second pass 2,1 sec and Sordo 1,5
Thats why i said cruising mode.

So what to do? have an jury giving the championship to the most worthy??

If Mikko wins it he is worthy! And it is not like he is some spoiled brat getting the best car that a monkey could win with...

Hold your breath guys, Mikko is not yet able to be the champion. Let's wait discussing this matter untill the time they are at almost equal points, wich is not yet now.
