He is the next Loeb IMO. He ain't that good on gravel but he will be as time progresses. If both Loeb and Sordo see out the whole season then Citroen will be Constructors Champions.

I think Sordo is showing how good he his on tarmac, but also... and more importantly, how good Citroen really are.
Remember we dont really know how good Loeb is (we do really, but for the purposes of the argument we dont!) until he gets into another make of car.
It would not be unreasonable to assume that the C4 is 0.25s per kilometer quicker than the 06 Ford. Over a 45k stages thats +11s, which is comparable to the times set by the 2 Citroens.
Also, Sordo's blinder of a stage time, Marcus was 10s up, then spun twice with hydraulic problems.
Dont get me wrong, Sordo is the real deal, on tarmac, but I think Atkinson performance was every bit as impressive.
