It seems to me like Mikkelsen is just slowing down a bit. Team orders I suppose... It is normal, Ogier is their number one driver, and they need both cars to do the kms and gain experience for the teamQuote:

Mikkelsen has made his point and proved his speed and ability.
No point throwing that away. They get to play again in a few weeks in Acropolis.
In a way that's what makes these long events a bit crap. Here we are on Saturday, with still a long Sunday to go, and unless mechanical incidents occur, the length of the event isn't really going to add too much. It's just longer for everyone to have to wait for the result in a world were people's attention spans are time to watch/ follow is less and less.
Ogier takes the lead... like a boss.. today he was faster everywhere.
Benito Guerra lying 2nd in PWRC“I was a little bit panic, we got a top speed of 230 kph in these last 2 corners… A little bit scary… The car is perfect.”
i like these longer rallies, but it is way to less manu/teams and good drivers to make it interesting! 10 yrs ago, this had been something real good!
now its just to sit down, take a beer (or"bear", for us with wife's) and wait for someone to make a mistake.
Seems like the VW Skodas is putting on some brakes.. Petter was some 22sec faster than last run, Neuville almost 50sec faster. In the Fabias Mikkelsen only 5 sec faster than this morning,
Ogier 11sec faster
VW are in test mode. Comparing different setups.
