I think it was still a very good job by Sordo, his times on day 1 and 3 (less important) were very good, only his lost a bit confidence on the second day, maybe he was suprised about the continu speed by Marcus and became a bit under pressure but hey it's still his second season and he's improving, his times on gravel are better all the time, Spain and MC and even in Germany on day 1 was good work by him, defintly a strong title challenger in the next years !!
Let's also not forget he's clearly the second man in the team, less testing and did only the extra round in Ireland in the Xsara, not a C4 like Loeb!

Citroen's money isn't that big to put extra drivers in the team (otherwise they could hire some snow expert early on this season what was the best option, also for Sordo himselfs..), maybe Kronos/ Duval could find some extra money to "hire" a C4, that would absolutly crazy. At the moment he's on the start-list for Ireland, now the must find that money...

Kopecky will probably drive (and develop) the Fabia S2000 next year.

Then he won't run rallies before AT LEAST august/september 2008 !!! :s

But didn´t Sordo use the new tyre on at least a few stages on day one? He was complaining about that the car was understeering a lot, and it was du to the tyres. Loeb, on the other hand did not complain abt the tyres... Might be wrong abt that though... :)

Duval isn't at the list with nominated drivers for manufacturers points for the rally Ireland.

Maybe he will drive a C4??? Or maybe a Focus???

Ireland was not on Daniel Carlsson's nomination for MT points list, so Duval is not enlisted fot Manufacturer Team points and can use any hoimologated car, including a 2007 spec Citroen C4 WRC. He will be entered as a pure privateer then.

Sure neather is pons?! Its driver points that duval will be trying to take away from ford, with manufacturer assisatance.

Duval's season is finished for this year. He has no more money to drive and Citroen will not help him anymore.
