Considering the weather and road conditions, taking Sordo over Breen may have not been a great choice for Hyundai (mud + road position a little further)
Well you can't know the weather in advance...
Until this year Sordo was basically the most consistent bet among all drivers on slower gravel.
Then the co-driver changed and he has shown a bit disappointing speed in Portugal (compared to previous years), clear driver error in Sardinia and retirement in Safari (not clear how much it was driver induced, but Adamo was angry about it).
Now with another co-driver again Hyundai really needs to know how much they can bet on him.
- if Breen is not signed at MSport yet, should they offer him full season at expense of Sordo?
- if Breen is leaving, can Sordo drive the car most of the season and only let Solberg or even Huttunen score points in Sweden, Finland and Estonia or do they need to try to get some other driver?

I see the tire allocation is 32 hards, 8 soft. That might get interesting...
Soon 22 hrs from Pickems shutdown.
Pirelli just said it will be a difficult rally for the tyres.Quote:

About Breen/Sordo, yeah, Sordo was a most logical choice at the moment of the decision, it is just an observation based on the current situation of the road/weather but quite easy to say it now (compared with 4 weeks ago).
Bah, back in the days of the 'true Acropolis', these would just be considered pebbles... :pQuote:
