Only two new Citroens on the Monte I think. And I doubt Craig will get the drive ahead of Lefebvre - even if in my opinion he could do a better job.

Can 3 be Camilli in Fiesta 2016 and 9 Lefebvre in DS3 2016?
During Rallye du Var Lefebvre did mention something about testing things out for Monte Carlo. He was there in a DS3 of course, so it could mean he will be there in the 2016 car. Or maybe he was just talking about broader preparations, like getting back into a rhythm with Gabin Moreau or something.
Unless they've made a decision internally to promote Breen to full-time #2 driver, I can't see them not picking Lefebvre on a French event.
Shame Citroen went so conservative on 2017 when most had the three cars already planned in. I don't know how discussions went, but it may have cost them a chance to get Ogier.
Can't wait for 10 years time when THE book comes out - I expect it will say that there was never a possibility that Ogier might go to Citroen. The smell of the burnt bridge was still heavy in the air and the guy with the matches was still in charge at 'l'equipe'.
Just wish I was going to the Monte this year but I'm already looking at tons of eventfulness in 2017 which means my annual leave allowance is severely tested.
Elfy Evans with Dmack?
clever move by Citroen, perhaps in the events until Corsica, each time, the 3rd driver will get to drive the DS3 so he'll have the experience of each event.
