There's absolutely nothing WRCish in tactics. Rally is a sport and where there's a competition, there's tactics. That's just how it goes. I'm amused by the fact that some people just don't get it.Quote:

In this particular case, as I mentioned earlier, I believe Vouilloz offered the place to Meeke rather than being ordered by the team. That being the case it was a gentlemanly gesture.

However, I don't understand the logic how you make a tactical decision (which you hate) a gentlemanly gesture because the "active participant" is a driver and not a team manager. Drivers drive in a team so they have to be team players. Now that Vouilloz gave up his spot, Meeke climbs up to second and that's okay. If the team manager would have ordered this, the final results would have been the same but that would have been dirty tactics... Even though this time it was the drivers decision, it's still tactics. I appreciate Vouilloz for doing that, but I would have appreciated the team manager just as much if it would have been his decision. :)
Maybe Nicolas wants to be sure for next season..
In my opinion it was team decision but that doesn't matter. Funny that Kopecký may lost the tittle battle because they didn't apply tactics in Russia. But for Škoda tittle wasn't a target this year, they wanted to promote the car by a couple of victories and that was achieved. The fact Kopecký is in a fight for the crown is more a nice bonus :)
:down: for Kronos
Congratulations for Kopecky!
Congratulations for Kopecký and Škoda Motorsport. A pity that Hevia had that puncture, that means 2 points extra for Meeke.
Again teamorders by Kronos. They did it so much times in the past and now again. There are so much Pug’s and still they use teamorders.
Much respect for Kopecký, Hänninen and Škoda Motorsport, they didn’t do that in Russia. Probably an Italian wins Sanremo, but I hope Jan can keep Meeke behind him in that rally too. I hope the recce that he did last year in Sanremo will help him.
