I assume you mean stages?Quote:

It was a different story on the next two days, when they were more evenly matched, with Mikko being slightly ahead of Latvala on the majority. At the end of the day I think it is obvious the works team Fords had a problem at Mexico so you can't really compare the two drivers when they were both lumbered with a dud set up.
The bigger picture is that JML owes the team for their faith in him last year, when his stuff ups played a major part in Ford failing to take either title last year. Probably their bast chance for years, with Seb also making a few uncharacteristic mistakes later in the season.
He is bumped to second driver this year, rightly IMHO for the team, and on the evidence of the first two rallies is doing a darn sight better than Sordo in that role! It was absolutely right that he should let Mikko through, as that is what Citroen proved they will do last year to get their premier driver the maximum points.
