In 2011 Thierry managed to survive several incredibly tight battles in IRC. In Sanremo he won by 1,5 seconds ahead of Mikkelsen. In Mecsek he lost by 0,8 seconds to Kopecký. Both was after a full-event fight. I think he can stand the pressure but of course a victory in WRC is still something more.

Novikov very slow,maybe problem?

Evans faster than Kubica at last split

Yes, but with all due respect, mister Latvala is something else! :) According to rally radio Thierry seems fully in control, "almost scary how focused he looks".. He's been an overperforming underdog up till now, but now there's no more excuses. His raw pace should be faster than Latvala's, I think.

Now he must show it.

No Latvala has to proove that at 10 years at wrc can be faster than a 1,5 year newbie.

Paddon faster at wrc2

That looks like a serious problem for Ogier.
